Dave Bailin & the Bailouts is a 5 piece soul rock band out of Salem, MA that has been performing together since 2009. Front man David Bailin (guitar, vocals and harmonica) has been playing professionally as a soloist, duo, trio or full band since 1989, playing all over the North Shore. His unique style and taste in music draws from 1950’s R&B, blues, Bob Dylan, Stones, country, reggae, classic rock and Radiohead. He has always written his own music and likes to cover songs that fit his style, some by popular artists but not necessarily the most popular songs; he has always dug a little deeper.Lead guitarist Eric Reardon is a force to be reckoned with all on his own. Eric freelances for several bands but has always enjoyed playing with Dave; they have been playing together since Eric was 14. Eric brings excitement, energy and style well beyond his years.Drummer Steve Peabody, a graduate of Berklee School of Music, teaches music during the day and drums like it’s nobody’s business at night. It is quite clear to see when he is playing that he loves what he does. The passion and pure fun that he has when playing with the Bailouts carries directly over to the rest of the band and the audience.Bassist Steve"The Bullet" Burke is the newest and youngest member of the Bailouts. He plays a fat six string bass. He can laydown a bass solo and sound like a seasoned guitar player but is as solid as granite giving this band one of the best rhythm sections around. Percussionist Scott Noring is the color man. He has more tools than a master mechanic and always finds the right ones to use in the right places for each song. He gets into a groove with Steve and Steve that drives the band into another dimension. Dave Bailin and the Bailouts is a downright fun band with a loyal following in Salem as steady fixtures at In a Pig’s Eye and Opus Underground. They also play all over the Boston North Shore; Spot Light Tavern in Beverly, The Grog in Newburyport, The Dog Bar and Minglewood Tavern in Gloucester to name some of the more popular venues. In 2011 they released their first CD “On The Wire”, a live recording with 8 originals with some obscure covers mixed in. Dave still plays acoustic as a soloist, and does duos and trios with different members of the Bailouts as well as other top notch local musicians. He has been a long standing host of Open Mic Night at In A Pig’s Eye in Salem, the last Monday of every month.- See more at: http://davebailin.com/band_bio/#sthash.vRAnLKCE.dpuf
