families settled down in front of their television sets to watch the "Ed Sullivan Show", not knowing in the next hour they would witness the start of a revolution. That wintry Sunday night America met four eager and energetic Liverpool lads who would unintentionally change the course of history through their music.

Soon, garages in every neighborhood rang with the chords from young bands under the spell of rock and roll. A new culture had begun and seven young men- Josh Leo, Larry Lee, Jim Photglo, Harry Stinson, Vince Melamed, Larry Byrom and Michael Rhodes- fell head over heels in love with music.

Over the next several decades, they would individually become some of the music industry's most accomplished singers, songwriters, musicians and producers, contributing their remarkable talents to dozens of chart-topping hits of rock and country superstars such as Sting, Bob Dylan, Jimmy Buffett, Elton John, Glenn Frye, Shania Twain, Bob Seger, Faith Hill, Tina Turner, James Ingram, Michael McDonald, Dan Fogelberg, Peter Frampton, Neil Young and dozens more. But their original inspiration stayed ablaze in their hearts and in the late 80ís they joined their legendary talents, unparalleled musicianship and unbelievable accomplishments to form what is now the Vinyl Kings. Before long, they became one of the most celebrated bands in Nashville, packing clubs and thrilling crowds while building an impressive name for themselves on the local music scene with their amazing originals and perfect renditions of the greatest hits of the past forty years like "A Hard Days Night" , "Back in the USSR", "Street Fighting Man" , "Ain't That Peculiar" , and "We Gotta Get Out of This Place".

"It's a very healing experience. Because, let's face it, in this town, we get a little jaded", says Vinyl King Jim Photoglo. "I mean, it's music day in and day out, music as a job. And a lot of the times, whether you're a session player or a producer or a singer or whatever, you're doing something that you maybe don't dig so much. You know, maybe the song is not your cup of tea. These things happen, let's face it. It's business. But the Vinyl Kings are about something else, and that's why it's been so much fun for us, and so much fun for our audience."

Having helped to construct the rock and roll empire alongside some of the most well-known artists of all time, the Vinyl Kings now bring together their influence, experiences and respect for the band that originally inspired them in their original album A Little Trip, released in the Fall of 2002. A Little Trip captures the magic and feel of the original sound and take the listener on a trip through the history and music of the band the changed the world: The Beatles.

"If I were McCartney, I would sue these guys theyíre so good!" says long-time friend Jimmy Buffett.

"As a result of my involvement in writing, recording, and performing with the Vinyl Kings", says Larry Lee," I've experienced a renewed love and excitement for music. After years of doing what I was doing in this business, the music had become somewhat of a job".

A Little Trip became a best-seller on CDBaby.com before itís official release date, quite a feat considering the thousands of albums available on the popular site. It has garnered praise spanning across the globe, from Australia to Germany to Sweden, and has united a new generation of Beatle lovers.

Rock and Roll has been one of the single most powerful forces of the past century. It has represented peace, power, anarchy, good, evil, strength, weakness. It has been the voice of many generations. It has been the catalyst for social revolution. An entire world has been changed by a handful of people that had the foresight, inspiration, ambition and creativity to make music. With the remarkable accomplishment and explosive talent of the Vinyl Kings, you can now see where it started, how it evolved, and where it's going.
