The Ventures May 11, 2011

The Ventures, the biggest-selling instrumental rock group in history, formed in 1959. The band recorded 'Walk Don't Run,' which hit the Billboard Singles chart inn July 1960 and peaked at #2. Numerous other hits followed, including 'Secret Agent Man,' 'Perfidia' and 'Hawaii Five-0.' More than 45 years later, The Ventures' sound is more pure and powerful than ever. They, more than anyone else, are America's ambassadors of Rock 'n' Roll to the non-English speaking world and the World's all-time #1 rock instrumental group.
