WIMOWEH is a special kind of tribute band. They not only honor the musical of legacy of original Tokens, Phil and Mitch Margo, famously known for "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," they also include both Phil's son and grandsons. 

Through the sixties The Tokens wrote, produced and recorded some of music's most well known songs. Besides "Lion..." they brought the hits of The Chiffons, The Happenings, Tony Orlando & Dawn and so many others to the world. 

Originally conceived by Phil's son, Noah, WIMOWEH was thought of as The Tokens own, built-in tribute band...paying tribute to themselves. Noah felt it necessary to find a vehicle that would celebrate the great music created by The Tokens and preserve his father and his uncle's musical legacy.

After moving to Atlanta, he played with many children’s ensembles in the DeKalb County area, before learning bass guitar and eventually moving back to California. He’s since earned a bachelor’s degree from California State University, Northridge. He’s continued his musical journey by venturing into production and songwriting as an independent artist under the name T.K. Jaco, while still performing with other musicians and groups, including the great WIMOWEH!"

Ethan Ginsberg Margo  - Ethan recently graduated from the University of Colorado, Denver with a degree in Recording after falling in love with music production in high school. With a jazz piano background, music production degree and years of formal musical education he lends himself well as the harmonic anchor of WIMOWEH.
