Harry Sullivan

From his earliest 3 rd grade church choir, through the rock years of the sixties, the country-rock 70's to current day his guiding influence has been the blues. His musical tastes include everything from George Gershwin to Frank Zappa. Having spent many years of his youth singing in choirs, choruses and even a barbershop harmony group, Harry's mature voice brings out all of his musical experiences. Guitar influences include Mike Bloomfield, Taj Mahal and Jeff Beck.

 

Alan Beilis

Alan Beilis has been playing bass for well over 30 years. His musical influences are derived from The Beatles (Paul McCartney is his idol), The Eagles, Don Henley, as well as others too numerous to mention, He's played a variety of musical styles including blues, jazz, classic rock and country. His style of play is based upon simplicity (“the fewer the notes played, the better”). With that, he brings his own feel/style to the bottom of Bakin' Fat's music.
