In 1980, Lenny Adams took ill with cancer, and for the first time, Lenny, Jr., and Kenny were given the responsibility to lead the Lenny Adams and the Polka Stars Band, and maintain the family tradition. With the passing of Lenny, Sr. in 1982, Kenny took over the reigns and started fresh with a new band, Class Act. Class Act continued for a few years, eventually evolving into the TKO Band, Ken's current project. Over the past few years, the band has featured some of the most prominent musicians in the East Coast Polka scene, eventually leading to its current members on the CD, "Another Round." Kenny has been the driving force behind TKO's longetivity, promoting the band to musicians and fans alike. He continues to be the beat behind the music, playing drums on the CD, and providing all the legwork necessary in producing the new CD. He also leads the band, providing all technical and administrative support to keep TKO working, and keeping the fans updated on all appearances.

Kenny resides in Baltimore with his most lovely wife, Janet.

Jim's lve for music started back in the fifth grade. His interest then was learning the trumpet. He became involved with the trombone, bass fiddle and guitar. His talent and quick learning ability allowed him to play in all of the school bands. At the age of 15, Jim spent one summer gigging with a local quartet in the Baltimore area, (Lenny & his juniors). Then in 1977 he went onto joining the US Army as an active soldier for four years, becoming a certified automotive technician, that led him to his present job. Still active in the music field, Jim succeeded in mastering the Yamaha folk guitar.  Jim had one year before he was discharged from the military, when he met and fell in love with his lovely wife, Debbie.  Now married for 17 years with two lovely children, Tim and Elizabeth. Following in their Dad's footsteps; Tim loves to listen to some of his favorite CDs and will try to copy the drummer's every beat. Meanwhile, Elizabeth started on the piano, but has turned her interest towards the flute.

Jim has dedicated most of his playing time on the guitar, but decided to go with the beat of things, (Elec Bass), not just a 4 string bass, but a G & L.5 string. Jim wants to be in the steady groove of life. He uses this as his primary axe.  Jim studied Jazz Bass, which helped him to perform with some of the local bands in the Baltimore/Washington area. Jim also adds to the present band his vocal ability with the Country/ Blues and rock tunes.

Ray joied T.K.O. in August of 2000. Ray has studied under the direction of the famous jazz guitar player Carl Filipiak.
