THE EAGLES EXPERIENCE aims to be the most authentic tribute show to the Eagles available today. There are many great bands on the road that market themselves as a “Tribute to the Eagles” or a “Tribute to Eagles music”, but this does not make them an actual “TRIBUTE SHOW”. With a one-to-one lineup that reflects the Eagles during their heyday in the late 1970s, the members of THE EAGLES EXPERIENCE each emulate their respective “Eagle”, playing the correct instrument and singing the songs as sung by their protégé.
As a testament to the group’s accuracy and authenticity, they headlined the 2021 “STANDIN” ON THE CORNER” Festival in Winslow, Arizona, co-billing with American Idol winner Jake Hoot.
THE EAGLES EXPERIENCE performs ALL their material absolutely LIVE, without any pre-recorded backing tracks or “digital assistance”.
THE EAGLES EXPERIENCE only plays songs written and recorded by the Eagles as a band, from their biggest hits to hidden gems. While there were many great songs by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Joe Walsh as solo artists, the Eagles created more than enough musical material to fill an entire evening, and then some.
