Funny story about how they decided to form their band. In late 2007, Mike's parents were having a wedding vow renewal ceremony at their house. Mike was going to play some tunes off his keyboard and laptop. But in order to do it right, he felt he needed a bigger sound, and some vocal harmony. So he asked Wayne to join him. It took one rehearsal together to play a great set, and it impressed the crowd. So much so that one of the people in attendance wanted them to play an event they were planning. At that point, Wayne and Mike decided that this would be the start of Days of Vinyl.

At the beginning, Days of Vinyl was more of a "niche" band, catering to what you would find on actual vinyl records; mostly the 40's through the 80's. But as time has gone on, and the band is in demand for Weddings, Mitzvah parties, and events with wider age ranges, their repertoire has greatly expanded into music as recent as this past decade. Now, Days of Vinyl plays hits from the last 60+ years, with something for everyone!

Wayne Kern
Wayne Kern
Wayne has been working steadily as a band and solo musician since 1976; playing dinner theaters, night-clubs, weddings, and more. Wayne's rockin' guitar sound and smooth vocals make for a phenomenal sound. With an unmatched range of playing and singing styles, Wayne can go from The Rolling Stones to Michael Buble in the blink of an eye. But few can match his Brian Setzer licks. Wayne's inspiration also comes from great groups like The Beatles and Todd Rundgren. No matter the style, Wayne defines his own catchphrase, "Are you ready to rock?"

Mike Mullis
Mike Mullis
Mike has been playing keyboards since the age of 8, and singing for Big Bands, Classic Rock bands, and R&B groups for decades. Whether it's belting out a pop song or giving some high harmony, Mike's always getting complemented on his incredible vocals. But, as a true child of the 80's, Mike's heart is in the more popular music of that time; inspired by artists like Billy Joel, Huey Lewis, Elton John, Chicago, and Steely Dan. He's gotten into a few of the newer songs and can get his Uptown Funk on, but never forgets where his roots are!
