Kit Bailey: Kit began hitting things for fun and profit
at age 11, drumming in bagpipe bands, wind
ensembles, orchestras (including San Luis Obispo
and Santa Barbara Symphonies, and Music in the
Mountains Orchestra), ballet and theatre pit
orchestras, swing and jazz combos, rock and jazz
fusion bands, big bands, and salsa groups, and
playing hand drums for dance classes. Teaching
drumming and proofreading have rounded out his
schedule since he moved to the foothills in 1988. At
Power of 12 gigs he enjoys the mutually reinforcing
interaction between audible rhythmists and visible
gyrators.

Beth Moore: Pushy for 5'2", Beth's got a
thing for good lyrics - otherwise, why bother?
Just another special ed teacher who can
carry a tune - most nights. A student once
said she has a "rusty voice." Works for that
funky, soulful style. An activist, Beth plans to
someday sit around writing songs, barefoot,
while grazing in her organic garden.

Paul Trethewey: Computer-literate electrical
engineer by day, sax man by night, Paul writes
the horn section's arrangements by hand,
because they have more soul that way. An avid
lover of all types of music, he maintains his legit
chops playing in instrumental ensembles, and a
quartet of blatweasels. Hobbies include making
green gelatin dessert, and folding brown paper
bags flat.

Walter Webb: This baritone sax-blaster
blows deep tones on the low end, chirps
flute on the high end, and plays
percussion as much as possible in
between. Having been a professional
auto mechanic and now a special
education teacher to middle school
children, he really knows how to make
noise in public!

Jim Thornton: Jim has been in love with music for
as long as he can remember, and been singing and
playing guitar for probably
way too long. Born and raised in St Louis,he's
played all kinds of music in all kinds of interesting
situations. He's particularly fond of Santana,
Robben Ford, and any guitarist whose ever played
with Steely Dan. Throw in a heavy dose of Chicago,
Tower Of Power, Blood, Sweat, & Tears (and a lot
more...), and that’s why he’s in Power Of 12: to see
just exactly how much he can get away with
onstage...

Fusion, Jeff developed a love for all things
percussive. After playing drum set, percussion,
