After having had worldwide success with the #1 pop smash in 1978, "Kiss You All Over," this legendary quintet made a seamless transition from pop to country in the early 1980s. Their second country single, "Woke Up In Love" peaked at #1 in early 1984 and nine consecutive #1 singles followed: "I Don't Want To Be A Memory", "Give Me One More Chance", "She's A Miracle", "Crazy For Your Love", "Hang On To Your Heart", "I Could Get Used To You", "It'll Be Me", "She's Too Good To be True" and "I Can't Get Close Enough". Combining achievements in pop and country with success overseas, Exile earned 11 #1 singles, numerous top 10 singles, three gold albums including two Greatest Hits CDs, several multi-platinum singles and thirteen award nominations from the Academy of Country Music (ACM) and the Country Music Association (CMA).

As award-winning songwriters, singers and instrumentalists, Exile transcends expectations. The group made its debut in country music at a time when no other self-contained band played on their own records. Exile is recognized as the first contemporary country band to do this. The Music Row community knew this set Exile apart and the band earned the respect of its peers. The rarity of their transition from pop to country and explosive success in two music formats further enhanced Exile's popularity.

The small town of Richmond, Kentucky hosted the birth of "The Exiles" in 1963. Within two years the band would become the opening act and house band for several national tours with "The Dick Clark Caravan of Stars." On one fateful night in 1965, the band cornered Dick Clark and asked for some advice. Clark responded, "Never forget your audience!" Clark's advice became the band's creed. There were regional radio hits throughout the late sixties and early seventies. The name changed to "Exile" in 1972 and opening spots followed with major pop acts leading up to their worldwide hit in 1978, a country music explosion in the 80s and 90s and, now, together again for EXILE. Through it all the band still maintains its creed. With great new songs, signature vocal harmony, precision recording and high-energy live shows, EXILE remembers its audience.

J.P., Les, Marlon, Sonny and Steve, together again to the delight of so many loyal fans everywhere, deliver an action packed performance of back to back hits with a peek at some new songs, as well. True to their heritage and long lasting appeal, these five amazing musicians know how to entertain their fans. Exile is back!
