Maroon 5 at the Arena at Gwinnett Center
Los Angeles junior high school friends Adam Levine (center, vocals/guitar), Jesse Carmichael (keyboards), and Mickey Madden (bass) spent the latter half of the '90s playing in the modern rock foursome Kara's Flowers. In 1999, after adding guitarist James Valentine and renaming themselves Maroon 5, they changed direction with an infusion of R&B and soul. Recently, Matt Flynn replaced original drummer Ryan Dusick.
