Formed in 2010, the Bakersfield Breakers are a three-piece instrumental group from New York City that consists of Keith Yaun (Guitar), John Hamilton (Bass), and John DiGiulio (Drums).
The band’s mission is to reawaken the classic guitar-driven sound of 1950’s Bakersfield and the driving tunes of 1960’s surf rock. In addition to its large catalog of covers, the group also performs originals that fit perfectly with the vintage vibe and can comfortably cover gigs of anywhere from forty-five minutes to three hours.
The group has performed at bars and clubs around New York including the Rodeo Bar, the Underground Lounge, the Brooklyn Rod & Gun Club, Spike Hill, Tobacco Road, the Ding Dong Lounge, and Otto’s Shrunken Head.
The Bakersfield Breakers have also been featured performers at the HOWL Festival in Tompkins Square Park, Arbor Fest at the Queens Botanical Garden, the Sea/Change Festival at the South Street Seaport, Deno’s Coney Island Wonder Wheel Music Fest, and the Livestock Festival.
In 2014 the band released its debut album “In The Studio With… the Bakersfield Breakers” which was very well-received and is available for digital download or on disc at the group’s shows.
