Pete Olig - Bass, Vocals
Pete Olig was born in Wisconsin in 1956. He began his musical journey with piano lessons at age 6, and continued them through 8th grade. At age 13, he taught himself to play acoustic guitar; at age 14, he took up the upright bass and cornet. Shortly after that, he was persuaded to learn electric bass, and played in his first group at age 15. Since then, he has done live and studio work, both with his bands and as a sideman, as a bassist and vocalist, and occasionally playing other instruments. Pete has played with numerous bands, doing a wide variety of musical styles over the past 31 years. Some of these bands have opened for the likes of Chubby Checker, John Waite, Otis Day, REO Speedwagon, Country Joe McDonald, Marcia Ball and many others. He plans to continue playing as long as he can, music junkie that he is. |
