Marvin Sperling - Bass/Vocals
Coming full circle. At the age of 9, Marvin saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. He then began playing the violin. By 13, he bought his first electric guitar with his Bar Mitzvah money. Because The Beatles were his influence he found a band that played a lot of Beatles and was in need of a bassist. That’s when Marvin found his true instrument! Recording and performing for over 40 years, being in a band with Keith Emerson (ELP) and recording with Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), Kelly Hanson (Foreigner), and Heaven and Earth, he branched out as a Producer/Recording Engineer. He made records with Robert Fleischman of Journey, Heaven and Earth, Paul Shortino (Quiet Riot/King Kobra) and with long time friend Iain Ashley Hersey (RIP). Marvin has performed in the past with “Mick Adams and the Stones.” Mick Adams has performed on AXS-TV World’s Greatest Tribute Bands. Marvin has also created a British Invasion Tribute called “The Shagwells” which is now called “Bangers- A Tribute to British Rock!”

Vince Lupo - Drums/Percussion/Vocals
Like many youths of the British Invasion era of the 1960’s, Vince’s first inspiration to play rock ’n’ roll drums was none other than Ringo Starr. It didn’t stop there. His feel for swing and jump paid off in an invite to join his high school’s jazz band and an established, popular rock quartet. A naturally versatile player, his educational background and experiences opened more doors along the way. Finally settling in Southern California, he’s performed every style imaginable: classic rock, country, disco, swing, Latin, Real Book standards and more. He now specializes in backing some of America’s best tribute bands, impersonating greats such as Charlie Watts, Ringo Starr, Mickey Waller (Rod Stewart), Stan Lynch (Tom Petty) and other icons of rock.
