The Police - Police Experience
The Police Experience is the most authentic Police tribute band in the world, performing nationally and internationally to deliver the ultra high-energy show The Police were known for in the 1980s. This highly acclaimed tribute to The Police has even won the praise of Stewart Copeland himself, who said of the band, “Every nuance, all the drum parts, and the singer has Sting down to a tee…”
In 2003, Ian Copeland, founder of Frontier Booking International (FBI), heard the band and immediately had them perform for an audience that included Stewart Copeland and Miles Copeland, founder of IRS Records and manager of The Police. Upon hearing the band, Stewart himself jumped up on stage and performed with The Police Experience, tearing the house down with "Driven to Tears" and "Roxanne." For the band, it was an honor and a solid affirmation of their efforts to play with one of the world's most talented rock drummers and the founding member of The Police. Miles Copeland said of the band, “…the best copy band I have seen to date… close your eyes and it’s my boys…”
Since then, for nearly 20 years, The Police Experience has traveled the world, reminding everyone what made the music of The Police so special and part of the soundtrack of generations of fans. In 2009, the band caught the attention of longtime Stewart Copeland disciple Taylor Hawkins of The Foo Fighters, who invited David Rasner (“Sting”) and Jimbo Head (“Andy”) to his house to jam. Hawkins was so taken with the authenticity and talent of the band that he played an entire show with them two days later. Hawkins, who still performs with The Police Experience, had this to say about the band: “All of a sudden, I was transported back to 1983… they knew every single Police song perfectly… it might have been the awesomest, funnest, most musically satisfying experience… this guy sounds exactly like Sting…”
In 2013, The Police Experience was named one of "The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands" as they tore through a live set on AXS.TV from a sold-out Roxy Theater in Hollywood, CA. It's still considered one of the series highlights today by fans.
2016 introduced the world to "The Police Experience - Symphonic," with the Columbus Symphony, which remains one of the band's greatest and proudest moments as they bonded with thousands of fans, backed by a 65-piece orchestra. Truly breathtaking!
The band continues to thrill audiences from Montreal to Trinidad and from San Diego to Nova Scotia. They remain unmatched by any other Police tribute band for their authenticity. The Police Experience is as close as it gets to the real thing. With hits like "Roxanne," "Walking On The Moon," and "Every Breath You Take," you’ll hear all your favorite Police songs, get transported back to the '80s, and experience what it was like to see one of the world’s best bands in their prime.
