Three veterans of the Milwaukee Music scene are bringing their experience to a new project under the name of Outlier. The group is a three-piece acoustic-based band that is intent on keeping the focus on original material with a smattering of retooled covers (many by local songwriters) that features strong vocal harmonies.
Barry Patton began his career as a solo folk singer during the early seventies before switching to studio work and electric rock bands in the late seventies, eighties and into the nineties.
Bo Conlon has been playing in rock bands since the seventies as a drummer, including stints with Pat McCurdy & The Confidentials and The Bodeans. He currently also plays with Louie & The Flashbombs and Deerfrance among other side projects.
Kris Wolfram had a number of bands in the eighties, including The Sidewalks and Covert Operation, and also worked as a back-up with Patton for his cousin Peggy James in the nineties that included a performance at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe. Both Conlon and Wolfram played on Patton’s 1990 cassette lp Valley Of Dust, along with members of Semi-Twang, Sad But True and The Confidentials.
