Official Al McKay Site

The Al McKay All-Stars is the brain child of five time Grammy award winner and former founding member of Earth, Wind & Fire, Al McKay. A few years ago, Al got the idea of putting together a group of 14 hand-picked musicians to jam around town. The first time the band went out they performed a few southern Californina dates and then went on to tour extensively in Japan and the Phlippines. The group, in various configurations, has been back to the Far East at least once a year since their initial visit.

Now, Al McKay steps to center stage and into the musical spotlight with AL DENTE, his first ever solo offering and solid evidence that this remarkable artist is creating some of the most vital, engaging, and purely entertaining music of his career. Featuring a sparkling selection of hits from Al's long-running tenure as a member of the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire, including sterling renditions of such chart toppers as "Getaway," "Evil," "Love's Holiday," "Singasong," "Fantasy," and "September," AL DENTE also includes a sampling of some of the artist's newest original tracks. On selections such as "Make It Happen," "It's Only Love," "Who Am I?," "My Heart Is Wide Open," and "You Owe It All To Love." AL DENTE is a showcase of the potent and persuasive songwriting skills of this multi-talented individual. Add to that the consummate craftsmanship and passionate performances of Al's all-star backing band and the result is an auspicious solo debut from one of the truly legendary names in contemporary music.
