R.E.M. Concert History

R.E.M. was an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980 by drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and vocalist Michael Stipe. The group emerged from the local music scene while its members were associated with the University of Georgia. The band's sound was characterized by Buck's arpeggiated guitar style, Stipe's distinctive vocals and lyrics, Mills's melodic bass playing and backing vocals, and Berry's restrained drumming.
