In 1984, a group of musicians got together to form a band, and within two weeks, entered the Marlboro Talent Roundup in Southern California. They did not win, but vowed to try again next year.  In the meantime, they continued to perform in clubs, honing their craft, and quickly becoming a favorite with fans around the area.  In 1985, the group competed again in the Roundup, won first place, then appeared in concert with Merle Haggard,  George Strait, and Alabama at the LA Forum, and sang the National Anthem at a Laker Game.  Not too shabby a start for AMERICAN MADE!!

In the 32 years since then, it's been quite a ride--the group has appeared at Disneyland, Disney World, Knott's Berry Farm, in casinos in Las Vegas, Reno, Tahoe, and Laughlin, as well as at fairs, rodeos, concerts, nightclubs, and special events throughout the West. Late actor/singer Dennis Weaver chose AMERICAN MADE as his band when he took his country music show on the road, touring for two seasons and appearing on TNN and Canadian television. The group was also invited to perform at Dennis & Gerry Weaver's 50th wedding anniversay celebration in Colorado.
