The band was formed by guitarists and lead singers Don Dannemann and Tom Dawes (who also played bass guitar), and Jim Maiella (the original drummer), who all met while studying at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Epstein found out about the band when his business partner, New York attorney Nathan Weiss, heard them in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Labor Day of 1965.

Epstein became their manager and renamed them,[1] as a reference to the circular roundabout known as Centre Square, located in downtown Easton.

[6] Dawes produced two albums for the band Foghat, Rock & Roll (1973) and Energized (1974), and co-wrote the song "Wild Cherry" on the latter.

[7] Marty Fried left the music business to attend law school and graduated from Wayne State University in Detroit in 1972.

Joining band members Pat McLoughlin (guitarist/vocalist), Scott Langley (drummer), Don White (lead guitarist) and initially bassists Rick Brown (d. 2015) and later Mike "Roscoe" Rousculp (d. 2019), the band immediately incorporated the Cyrkle's two biggest hit songs, "Red Rubber Ball" and "Turn Down Day" into their show featuring Losekamp on lead vocals.

Losekamp had had no communications with any of his bandmates since The Cyrkle disbanded in 1968 (following the death of Brian Epstein the prior year).

The original lineup had retired from being rock musicians and established professional careers living and working in various parts of the United States.

[citation needed] He eventually located original drummer Marty Fried, now a lawyer, living in the lower peninsula of Michigan.

The Cyrkle's original bass player, Tom Dawes (who had had a remarkable career as a jingle writer), had died in 2007.

So, McLoughlin set his sights on locating the band's original singer and lead guitarist Don Dannemann.

He agreed to join the other members of the Gas Pump Jockeys to form a new version of The Cyrkle featuring himself and Losekamp.

On October 13, 2017, The Cyrkle began touring nationally, starting in Lakewood, New Jersey, typically appearing with other classic rock contemporaries from the 1960s music era.
