"Larry Dunn sets the pace" - Verdine White (EWF)

"Sheldon always keeps us knowing where home is in our music" - Maurice White (EWF)

The passion of these two accomplished perennial musicians shines throughout this magical, must see, must hear show. Together with the other original members of Earth, Wind & Fire, Larry Dunn was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and most recently (June 17th, 2010) inducted into the Songwriter's Hall Of Fame. Sheldon Reynolds did vocals and guitar for Earth, Wind & Fire for 14 years. Members of this duo, collectively, are honored to have received several GRAMMY nominations and GRAMMYs. Elements Of Fire has entertained and tapped into the emotions of audiences around the world.

To the world Larry Dunn is seen as one of Earth, Wind & Fire's most important members. To members of this group he is simply the wizard. When you add the emotion of love to the keyboard playing style of "The Wizard," you hear a man who plays like a great singer sings. Many will remember seeing the unforgettable EWF concerts where Larry operated stacks of keyboards like a master scientist. But it is not only his wizardry that makes him so special, his spirit is filled with kindness and love, which so exemplified what the fans of EWF interpreted as its real meaning. Larry Dunn has proven to be one of EWF's most devoted members, from helping to create the songs of Earth, Wind & Fire to influencing the execution of EWF classics.

Sheldon Reynolds is influenced by a wide range of guitar gods beginning with Hendrix and BB King. Sheldon upon hearing EWF, found several heroes to learn from. His mentor, Earth, Wind & Fire founder, Maurice White, stated "Sheldon has a great sense of our best components because he has studied EWF's music both as a fan and a member." In his main hero, Maurice White, he found his teacher of visionary application. After fourteen years with Earth, Wind & Fire, Sheldon now dedicates his creative future to producing, song writing and continuing the EWF legacy. Elements Of Fire pays tribute to this legendary group and world class GRAMMY artists. Sheldon also produced the Jimi Hendrix tribute.
