In 2000, after being a guest on the Harry Dean Stanton Band, award-winning actor Dennis Quaid was approached by one of the band's members to start up their own band. Quaid, who had not done music in quite some time agreed to the idea, and soon after Dennis Quaid and the Sharks was born. Since then, the band has gone around playing live shows in many LA clubs, as well as, various other clubs across the country. Dennis Quaid and the Sharks have gained great popularity for their rock 'n' roll / country-soul sound. They perform many original songs as well as covers like Jerry Lee Lewis' Great Balls of Fire, which is fitting for the band since Quaid performed this song in the 1989 Great Balls of Fire movie.
