J. Geils Band Background

The J. Geils Band's roots date back to the mid-1960s, when John Geils, Richard Salwitz, and Danny Klein formed an acoustic blues trio that went by the name Snoopy and the Sopwith Camels. Eventually the acoustic blues trio evolved into a full-fledged rock band, infused with some cool blues elements that gave them a unique sound that had audiences hooked from the very beginning. After tinkering with their style and adding more musicians to the lineup, the group decided on the name J. Geils Blues Band, but shortly afterward dropped blues from their name.

Shortly afterward, they started churning out original hits like Give it to Me and Ain't Nothing But a House Party.

Geils Band experienced moderate success in the '70s, it wasn't until the '80s that their fame really exploded, After some major success, however, the band would actually breakup for a time before again reuniting in style for a wide-ranging tour that brought together both the band and all the fans from back in the day. Over the years, they have played shows with bands like Aerosmith, Bon Jovi and other rock icons as well, though they have also developed a major fan following of their own that shows up wherever they take to the stage.
