Skip Olenick - Harp & Vocals (and original Accelerator)
A life long player, Skip resides in Marion County, Florida and the Accelerators are actually the first band that he has worked with long term!

Self taught with a unique, aggressive style, Skip really came into his own with a killer performance at the Tampa Bay Blues Society "Harpathon" at Skipper's Smokehouse in June 2001.

Skip contributes harmonica on several cuts and the accelerators "Long Time Comin' CD and he and Keith are "The Bluzboys", an acoustic duo who released their first CD "From The Well" last year.

Don't miss the opportunity to see Skip perform with The Accelerators, Bluzboyz or one of the many other bands he is asked to work with.
