He was nicknamed in reference to Aaron Thibeaux “T-Bone” Walker by his pal, frequent bandmate, and ace guitarist G.E. Smith.

Tom Wolk anchored the Daryl Hall & John Oates band during their 1980s glory years and beyond, plying mighty grooves with his vintage instruments (mostly a Fender Precision) on such seminal tracks as “Maneater,” “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do),” “Method of Modern Love,” and “Downtown Life” to cite a very select few.

An accomplished producer, guitarist, accordionist, songwriter, musical director, and first call session cat, Wolk also anchored The Saturday Night Live House Band (1986-92), Elvis Costello (King of America, Spike, Mighty Like a Rose), Willie Nile, Roy Orbison (King of Hearts), Carly Simon, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Cyndi Lauper, Shawn Colvin, Eve Moon, New York Yankees centerfielder Bernie Williams, and the solo works of both Daryl and John, among scores of others.
