BIOGRAPHY

Tom Wolk

Tom Wolk has been the longtime bassist with Hall & Oates (since 1981's Private Eyes album) and has also worked on the Saturday Night Live Band. He has also worked with Carly Simon, Jellyfish, Squeeze, Elvis Costello, Shawn Colvin and Billy Joel.

In 1991 Tom co-produced Willie Nile's "Places I Have Never Been" on Columbia Records

Tom currently plays a Fender Custom Shop replica of his heavily modified 1966 Precision Bass.

For the H2O album, Hall & Oates made changes to their band. Drummer Mickey Curry -- who had appeared on some Private Eyes tracks, including the title song -- replaced Jerry Marotta full-time, and bassist Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, who had mimed John Siegler's bass line in the "Private Eyes" video, replaced Siegler full-time. The two joined the band's holdovers — lead guitar player G.E. Smith, saxophonist Charles DeChant, and Hall & Oates to form one of the most acclaimed studio/backing units of the 1980s. DeChant and Wolk continue to perform with the duo to this day. Curry returned for the Do It for Love sessions.
