The Police Academy

The Police Academy tribute band (“TPA“) stands out as one of the few younger acts in the tribute scene, and it is their youthful enthusiasm that enables them to recreate the essence of witnessing The Police at the height of their career. They effortlessly transition between the raw, stripped-down punk sound found on The Police’s early records and the intricate, synth-driven pop masterpieces of their later years. This makes The Police Academy America’s greatest tribute to The Police! Joshua Jones, Jon McCracken, and Christian Hernandez share the same rock and jazz background as Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers, and their musical influences shine through in the authenticity of their sound. Furthermore, each member is heavily involved in renowned tribute bands such as Jumping Jack Flash, Wild Child, and The Fab Four! They bring their wealth of experience from these world-class projects to create an immersive and genuine performance, infusing their own unique showmanship and humor to create a show that’s entertaining for both casual and die-hard Police fans alike. From the well-known radio hits like “Message in a Bottle” and “Every Breath You Take” to deeper tracks like “Murder by Numbers” and “Synchronicity II,” The Police Academy delivers a powerful, authentic, and dynamic performance to help take you back to the Police’s touring days in the 1980’s!
