Biography:
Merrit and Sharon Baker have been performing 4-6 shows monthly since 1995 with their classic rock band "Pat Pending". Part of the evening's entertainment has always been an assortment of solo and duet acoustic numbers. Merrit and Sharon have expanded the acoustic format to stand-alone status, creating an entertaining mix of light favorites for most any occasion.
Merrit has been very active in the music business since the early 1970's, most notably as bassist with popular Springfield, Missouri act "Indian Summer". His association with this act led to work with Steppenwolf, Dr. Hook, Jim Dandy (Black Oak Arkansas), Michael Murphy, and others. He has continued to perform regularly ever since.
Sharon was raised in a very musical family and received formal guitar training as a young woman. She and Merrit were married in 1993, and her professional career began about a year later. She has become a crowd favorite in the Springfield area in the ensuing years.
