Ken Yamada (Lead Guitar)
That guitar lead you're hearing at minute sixteen in the same song is none other than Ken Yamada... and there's 5 more minutes left. Born with a pick on his fingers, Ken did not actually start playing the guitar until 15 years (or so) later. When not indulging in the sweet jams with Bacon, Ken manages to fill the day with a job at a website near you. Ken is currently actively seeking endorsements from Paul Reed Smith guitars, Blue Steel strings, Ibanez and Electro-Harmonix guitar pedals, and Marshall amplifiers. |

Ryan Vandenbroeck (Keyboard)
Ryan's professional career began as a fur trapper in northwestern Canada in the late nineteenth century. In a spat of boredom during the long, lonely winter, Ryan accidentally invented a time machine while creating a new recipe for fish tacos. (Warning: never cross the streams of paprika and coriander.) He used this time machine to witness the premier of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, Frank Zappa's 1972 tour, and several epic Phish shows from the mid-1990s. The next years were a blur of music study and attempts not to rip the very fabric of the space-time continuum. Ryan eventually emerged during modern times in the San Francisco area and began writing music and playing keyboards with Bacon. Hobbies now include following the San Francisco Giants and preaching the dangers of fish tacos. |

Brian Vandemark (Bass)
In prehistoric times, Brian emerged from the primordial soup of classical and jazz training. He learned to walk, and then run, with the electric bass guitar substituting as his fifth appendage. After discovering the wonders of harmonics he learned to fly without the use of heavy equipment. Eventually Brian was able to survive the vacuum of space on his own. These days he cruises in and out of the Oort Cloud with his six-stringed Ibanez, fueled by six hundred watts or Mark Bass. His sound is uniquely original, blending a lifetime of experimentation with fundamental universal truths. When you listen to Brian perform be mindful to not pay attention, because he will grab you anyway |

Robbie Planting (Guitar)
In his tenure as the Bacon rhythm guitarist, Robbie Planting helped to create the "god of rock and roll" or "rock god" archetype. On stage, Planting was particularly active in live performances, often dancing, jumping, snapping his fingers, clapping, making emphatic gestures to emphasize a lyric or cymbal crash, throwing back his head, or placing his hands on his hips. As the years progressed he, along with the other members of Bacon, became increasingly flamboyant on-stage and wore more elaborate, colorful clothing and jewelry. |

Jae Hendrickson (Drummer)
Magnanimous Male, bacon biting, literate libra, seeking long extended jams, improvised moments and heady grooves. Constantly pushing boundaries, limits and definitions. Always looking to discover and grow in new areas of rhythms, beats, and syncopation. Long standing advocate of individuality, independence, and originality. Zen like presence with chaotic control. Existential being with unknown quantifications. Heartfelt love songs make the world a better place. Parting words of wisdom," One never knows what one doesn't know, so try everything."
