Mike Waggoner & The Bops emerged in 1956 from Richfield, Minnesota, with a dynamic blend of rock 'n' roll and rockabilly. Founded by teenage brothers Mike and Colin Waggoner, the band quickly became a regional sensation, sharing stages with legends like The Rolling Stones in 1964. Their energetic performances and authentic sound earned them the title "Kings of Minnesota Rock & Roll." In 2008, they were honored with induction into the Midwest Music Hall of Fame, cementing their legacy in the American music scene.
