With sales of three million albums worldwide and a reputation for spectacular live performances, the Verve Pipe was one of Michigan rock and roll's great success stories of the 1990s. Formed in East Lansing, the band gained a following for its textured rock songs distinguished by inventive arrangements, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals. After being approached to submit a song for a compilation album called "Calling All Kids," the band found that the creative sessions yielded far more than just the one track. This led to an idea of a complete album of family-friendly songs, and "A Family Album," was born. Nominated for its annual best kids' CD award by Nickelodeon's Parents Connect, it's an energetic collection of guitar-based tunes on such topics as breakfast cereal and getting up in the morning. The Verve Pipe is back, and they're ready to reach a new generation!
