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 protege.  Every member of THE EAGLES EXPERIENCE is dedicated to presenting their part as accurately as possible, and will provide you with an ultimate “Eagles Experience” you will not soon forget.

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.

Led by leadership coach, Sara Emhof, this class combines the mindfulness tools of coaching with the creativity of dance. JourneyDance™ will calm your nervous system, empower your inner warrior, and burn some calories. No dance experience or yoga mat needed!

Sara Emhof

Sara is a Journey Dance apprentice and leadership coach. Working a high stress sales job had sent her into chronic stress mode with anxiety and depression. While studying stress and its affects on brain, she found Journey Dance and never looked back. As a former athlete, movement was always a way to get out of her head and into her body, but working out and yoga were not enough. Journey Dance added unique elements that healed her anxiety and increased serotonin and oxytocin, so she not only felt relaxed, but empowered. Today, Sara travels between New England and Buffalo, NY working with clients and organizations on building stress resilience.

We are Thrilled to welcome back Singer, songwriter, guitarist, storyteller, sailor and road warrior Scott Kirby. Writing songs for a new CD, performing 150 live shows a year throughout the US and Canada, and holding down the stage at his own club—Key West’s Smokin’ Tuna Saloon—keep the barnacles off this modern-day troubadour.

A creative lyricist and accomplished finger-style acoustic guitarist with an expressive voice, Kirby describes himself as a direct descendant of the ’70s singer… a Margaritaville experience you’ll want to see, sing and dance too.

He will be joined on this tour by Harmonica virtuoso Gary Green of Charlottesville, Virginia.  Green is a winner of several national and international harmonica competitions and has accompanied and recorded with dozens with artists on the east coast, and tours regularly with the Mayer Kirby Mayer Group.  He also recently returned from a cultural exchange to Afghanistan where he performed with a number of American and Afghan musicians.  He has recorded several albums of his own.

Bob Doolittle of Hanover, Massachusetts will round out the trio on acoustic, electric and bass guitar and vocals.   Doolittle is an 8 time Boston Music Award winner and performed with well-known songwriter Darrel Scott for several years as well as many other artists
