Rounder was founded in 1970 by Ken Irwin, Bill Nowlin and Marian Leighton-Levy, three college friends in Massachusetts who shared an interest in folk, old country, and bluegrass music. They gave the label its name for several reasons: the shape of a vinyl record, the nickname for a hobo, and the name of the folk band The Holy Modal Rounders. In Rounder's first three years, it released 19 records, starting in 1970 with an album by George Pegram, a 76-year-old banjo player from Texas. The trio self-identified as rounders, the name reflecting the "outlaw self-image of three romantics who positioned themselves in opposition to capitalism, the programmatic rigidity of the old Left, and the more doctrinaire cultural rules of the folk revival itself." Rounder's earliest success was George Thorogood and The Destroyers, a blues-rock band that sold half a million copies of their 1978 album Move It On Over. Headquarters were moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Over the years, Rounder expanded its roster to include other genres such as reggae, and zydeco. The label's first Grammy was won by blues guitarist Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown in 1983 for the album Alright Again
