Pat O'Hare  
Pat O'Hare, playing fretted and fretless bass, was born in Chicago. Pat began playing bass while attending Northern Illinois University at the insistence of one of his friends who couldn't find a bass player for his band. Unable to find a left-handed bass, he flipped a right-handed one upside down to the amusement of most people that saw the bass played "backwards."
After graduation, he moved back to Chicago playing in rock, blues, and bluegrass bands until moving to Orlando in 1973 and then West Palm Beach in 1974. Since then, he has recorded with the New Life Singers and has gigged in the area in various bands.
