Krys Baker (Vocals/Piano/Guitar/Clarinet/Sax/Trumpet/Flute/Harmonica/Accordion)
A classically trained musician, Krys began singing and playing clarinet at the age of six and then added various other traditional instruments to her repertoire, including piano. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education from Duquesne University,Pittsburgh, where she focused in voice and saxophone. Presently, she teaches music at a local elementary school. She was one of the musicians in the original trio Triple Notch preceding Baker's Boys. Krys started writing her own music at the age of fifteen.
Michael Snider (Mandolin/Nose Flute/Vocals)
Poet and mandolinist Michael Snider writes poetry in traditional forms and has spent much of the last four years playing music he's never heard with musicians he's never met. He's very glad to have a home with Baker's Boys.
Ed Stachyra (Bass Guitar)
Formally trained in Alto Saxophone and Electric Bass, Bass player Ed Stachyra has played bass for various rock bands in Pennsylvania and Maryland. He is a true fan of art and music of all types. Ed prefers his bass lines low and clean, and enjoys holding down the band's low harmonic solid rhythm. Having a natural knack for the driving melodic rhythm of the bass, Ed now plays his bass lines for Baker's Boys. Ed plays G&L bass guitars with Crate and Mesa Boogie amplification.

Formed in September 2006, Krys Baker & The Baker's Boys is a varied ensemble focusing primarily on original music. Perhaps best described as Cabaret Rock, Baker's Boys songs ride a wide variety of genres and forms. At home in the coffee house, club, festival, benefit, or songwriter's open mic, we cook up tales to remember.
Currently, we're busy gigging at various venues and we're working on our first CD entitled "White Roses." Occasionally we'll place tracks for review on the site. Make sure you listen and review them! We only want to put the best of the best on our first CD.
I really wish I could come see you guys on the 23rd but it seems we have a show of our own. Play down here another time and I'll do my best to make it.
So happy to hear bands focusing on original music. I enjoyed your site, and hope you will visit The LHC space again. I will post new music next week, so come on by! RK
