Earth, Wind & Fire – one of America’s top-selling musical groups of all time – is bringing its soul-funk fusion to PACER Center’s 30th Annual Benefit on Saturday, May 5, at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Tickets are available now.
“They sold out the house when they performed at a previous PACER Benefit,” says Paula Goldberg, PACER’s executive director. “People were dancing in the aisles at that show, and we’re looking forward to another fantastic evening.”
Inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Earth, Wind & Fire has earned six Grammy Awards and four American Music Awards alongside numerous other accolades. The band recently received the prestigious Legend Award at the 2011 Soul Train awards on Nov. 27, 2011. On Jan. 31, the band will release a new album, “Now, Then & Forever,” what Legacy Recordings calls “the ultimate single-disc celebration of Earth, Wind & Fire.”
In addition to the Earth, Wind & Fire concert, PACER’s benefit includes silent and live auctions. The evening begins at 6 p.m., and tickets start at $65. A pre-benefit gourmet dinner is available by separate ticket, and a post-concert patron party is available for people purchasing Benefit tickets of $140 or more.
The Benefit supports free PACER Center programs for children with disabilities and their families as well as PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center. To reserve tickets, visit PACER.org or call (952) 838-9000.
