Skunk and Bill Johnson, manager, started the group as a way of giving back to charities and has been doing so for many years, officially calling the group the American Vinyl All Star Baand.
The group has appeared at venues and arenas across the country, performing classic rock hits from the bands in which they once played.

A special guest performance to open this exclusive show will be artist Jamie Lee Thurston, a Vermont-native, Nashville musician who plays good ol’ roll-up-your-sleeves rockin’ country. Thurston has enjoyed tremendous success with Top 40 hits and his new record, “The Window,” debuted recently at No. 17 on iTunes charts.
The concert will benefit the Vermont State Troopers Association which provides assistance to families of fallen officers.
