GROUP THERAPY (An American Band)

Group Therapy was a garage band formed in Sherman Oaks, California in 1966. The original members were David Finer (vocals and rhythm guitar), Leland Sklar (vocals and bass), Greg Wood (vocals), Mike Shure (lead guitar and vocals) and Jeff Finer (vocals).The group was signed by Canterbury Records and produced by Ken Handler, its president. The Group's only released single "Magic In The Air" (flip side "Bad News") received substantial airplay and broke Billboard Magazine's Top 100.

Ira Ingber subsequently replaced Mike Shure as lead guitar player and Group Therapy recorded several unreleased 45's which were produced by Mike Post. The group disbanded in 1970. Leland Sklar and Ira Ingber continued their musical careers and have made major contributions as recording artists and side musicians.

Group Therapy was the opening act for The Byrds and Canned Heat at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California and The Seeds at college concerts.
