The best-selling instrumental band of all time.
The Ventures formed in Tacoma, Washington in 1958. The legacy kicked off with the opening drum roll of 1960’s "Walk Don’t Run", a #2 hit that would go on to sell more than 2 million copies. From the garage, to the beach, to the stars, The Ventures defined an entire decade of instrumental rock music.
In 2006 Walk Don't Run was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame
A cultural and musical phenomenon bar none in the instrumental world, The Ventures charted 37 records in 12 years and released a staggering number of now classic tunes such as: "Walk Don’t Run", "Perfidia", "Lullaby of the Leaves", "Bulldog", "Driving Guitars", "Surf Rider", "Apache", "Tequila", "Pipeline", "Wipe Out", "Out of Limits", "Journey to the Stars", "Diamond Head", "Walk Don’t Run ’64", "Slaughter on 10th Ave.", and the incomparable "Hawaii Five-O".
The Ventures have sold over a 100 million records. And, with over 200k followers and 30+ million plays on Spotify, their fan-base is actively engaged and still growing!
They were inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.

“Bob Bogle and I created The Ventures in 1958 in Tacoma, Washington. We had our first success with “Walk-Don’t Run” in 1960. We never thought the group would continue this long, but we’ve never stopped performing and recording. The Ventures today are performing and recording better than ever. These guys will continue the legacy and journey of The Ventures… and the dream Bob and I had keeps coming true.” - Don Wilson
