History

Founded in 1987 by Stanford University juniors Larry Shorter and Tony Stovall, the group's name is a tribute to Sly and the Family Stone's vision of inclusiveness and acceptance of all races, genders, and creeds as well as their 1967 hit of the same title. [7] [ better source needed ]

In 2017, EP performed with artists Wiz Khalifa and Ouyang Nana at the Breakthrough Prize awards ceremony. [8]

In addition to performing at campus and Bay Area events, EP has toured the United States, Jamaica and the Bahamas.[ citation needed ]

EP is an entirely student-run organization: the arrangements in its repertoire have all been arranged and transcribed by its own members, past and present.[ citation needed ] While EP generally performs with a group of 8-16 singers, graduating members always remain a part of the group.
