Written by Kiss Media on 13 November 2026
The Gold Room in Harrington is turning into a funk cathedral on Saturday, November 21, 2026, when In Gratitude — a 13-piece tribute to Earth, Wind & Fire — brings the full EWF songbook to Harrington Raceway & Casino. Two shows are on the schedule, at 5:00 PM and 7:30 PM, with tickets at $24.50.
Presented by Harrington Raceway & Casino, the night promises the authentic EWF experience: the soaring harmonies, the horn section, and a set packed with the classics — “Can’t Hide Love,” “That’s the Way of the World,” “Let’s Groove,” “Reasons,” “Shining Star,” “Serpentine Fire,” “Getaway,” and of course, “September.” In Gratitude is made up of musicians who have performed and recorded with Prince, Whitney Houston, Teddy Pendergrass, Nancy Wilson, Phyllis Hyman, Chuck Brown, The O’Jays, and George Clinton — players who know this music from the inside.
The evening show runs 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM, and the room is 21+. At $24.50, it’s one of the best-value funk nights Delaware will see all fall.

HISTORY
Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the most decorated bands in American music. Formed in Chicago in 1969 by Maurice White, the group fused R&B, funk, soul, jazz, and African rhythms into a sound nobody else could touch — and then took it to the biggest stages on earth. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, won six Grammy Awards, and sold more than 90 million records worldwide.
The catalog reads like a greatest-hits list of the 1970s and ’80s: “Shining Star,” “That’s the Way of the World,” “Sing a Song,” “Reasons,” “Fantasy,” “Boogie Wonderland,” and “Let’s Groove” — which spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1981. And then there’s “September,” released in 1978, a song so joyful it became a permanent holiday: every September 21st, the whole internet sings “Do you remember the 21st night of September?”
In Gratitude keeps that flame lit. The 13-piece Baltimore/DC-area band recreates the EWF stage show — the harmonies, the horns, the energy — song for song, and Harrington’s Gold Room is the perfect room for it: intimate enough to feel the horns, big enough to dance.
