'''Kevin Brooks''' joined Crab Alley as the bass played in the latter half of the band's existence. After the band parted ways, Brooks soon partnered with Holland again as a duo that played on the Schooner Woodwind cruises. The duo would go on to form the first rendition of the band, Them Oyster Boys.
==Early Years: Them Oyster Boys==
As a duo, Brooks and Holland played throughout the Eastport peninsula and played a large role in the succession of Eastport from Annapolis and creation of the Maritime Republic of Eastport. Their music ranges from Celtic to soul, and tells true and exaggerated stories of the Chesapeake Bay and maritime activity.
