Jack FoxVocals and GuitarsScanning as far back one could, Jack was searching out his love of music. Read on as he reflects back on the days while riding in his Mom's Chevy Corvair...
In that car with his brothers, Steve and Scott, they would ride to the New Jersey shore and sing three part harmonies in the back seat. All this while the radio played ‘The Beatles’, ‘The Beach Boys’, ‘The Rolling Stones’, etc, etc, etc.
At the age of twelve, Jack convinced his family that he really wanted to play guitar and began taking lessons at Sid Kliener's House of Guitars (Califon, NJ). It didn't take long before he was writing his own songs and trying to get a band together to play them.
The first band (The Red Coats) was born with some fellow musicians from High Bridge, NJ. A great band name though probably the best part of this band was the red Nehru jackets that Jack's Mother sewed together for each member of the band. (He'd like to have one of those today!). This band didn't stay together very long as it became evident that with spring also came baseball, basketball, girls and all of the other outdoor activities that young boys like to get into.
Music from this point on however became one of the constants in his life. If there were to be only one passion he could keep in life, music would have to be it. It has been the one thing to keep the sanity through the times of good and bad.
Jack has played large and small venues, with full bands, small bands, duo's and as a solo artist. He is always ready to play and at his best when he is in front of an audience with mic’, guitar, and a song.
Some of the highlights in a long and scattered musical career include.
** Crystal Rock & Roll ** (This was the first “great band” he was a part of)
** Recording with the Fred Brown Band **
** Blind Drive ** (What an honor to play with some of the greatest musicians ever)
** Stevie Ray Vaughn & Joe Cocker in concert at the Garden State Art Center **
** Bartfest 2001 **
** Meeting and being able to play with Robin Stone (Stone-Fox) **
Larry WilliamsVocals and GuitarsLarry began performing in high school as lead singer and guitarist for an Iowa garage band known as Grandmas Rockers (
www.grandmas-rockers.com). Their FredLo label album is worth more than the Beatles White album. In college Larry went acoustic with a vocal trio emulating Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. His music got put on a back burner when he went to graduate school to become a research neuropharmacologist. Larry kept his voice in shape through participation with several master chorales as his science career took him from Michigan to California and Maryland. Over the last couple years Larry returned to public performance as a singer of acoustic and electric pop-rock-folk music in and around Bel Air and Havre de Grace, and established a home recording studio. Now performing with Jack Fox, the two of them have developed a tight blend of vocal and instrumental excellence in the incarnation of Beerdz-Hill-Rode.
Susan KennerVocals and Keys For Susan music has been a very important part of her life as far back as she can remember. Her appreciation began as she and her father would sing together while he pushed her on the backyard swing. Piano came a bit later when she started taking lessons at age seven.
She enjoyed performing with several choirs and groups throughout high school and went on to earn a degree in Music Education from Towson University.
Through the years, Susan has directed choirs, sung and played with several groups, and released a solo CD entitled, “I Sing”. She has performed in a wide variety of venues from intimate gatherings to large conferences.
In addition to being a member of BHR, Susan is also a member of “Aliyah”, a female quartet, as well as performs solo throughout the area. She is an inspirational speaker incorporating her music to reach people who have suffered and survived abuse, she is the worship leader at Great Hope Bible Church in Jarrettsville, MD, and teaches private piano lessons in her Bel Air home.
