The Cyrkle

The Cyrkle earned a spot in the hearts of Classic Rock lovers for their smooth style and tight harmonies. Brian Epstein chose The Cyrkle to open for The Beatles on their 1966 Summer tour before crowds of 70,000. The exposure sent their debut single, "Red Rubber Ball" to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966. Founding member, guitarist and vocalist Don Dannemann along with Mike Losekamp on keys and Pat McLoughlin are joining us in Charlotte for FABFEST and you can too! TheCyrkle.com
