Born of countless basement music appreciation jam sessions, the Baier Cellar Band formed in the Baier's Cellar in 1989, and grew to its current state of 6 members by the time we played our first gig in public in 2000. We were friends before we played music together, and the music has given us something to bring us together forever...the love of playing our own music.

Why this name?
Well, we always played in the Baier's basement...(buyer is pronounce buyer)...and cellar is another word for basement...so The Baier Cellar Band seemed fitting as a name for our band...
Do you play live?
We've played about 15-20 gigs since 2000...I'm a relentless touring task master...Everybody has other things in life that take up the majority of the hours in a day, but we get out when we can...
We have primarily played in Central Ohio, but for one million dollars, we will play anywhere in the world...

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It eliminates the middle man...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably not...I'm married, so that's more than enough of being told what to do when...
Band History:
Our first gig was in Oct. 2000...we've played sporadically since then at places including Nelsons Ledges Quarry Park, Flappers Bar and Grill, and various benefit concerts...Our bass player, Dave Downing, used to play in a great band from Cleveland in the 80's and 90's called Oroboros...
We're in this for fun and stress release...

Your influences?
Grateful Dead...that's the primary source of inspiration for making music...We have all experienced so much joy in going to shows and listening to them do their thing that we wanted to get together and do our own thing and see what happened...It's been quite a bit of fun...
Other Classic 60's, 70's and a few of todays jambands thrown in for good measure...
