by Matt O’Donnell Managing Editor, Bass Frontiers I think everyone who has ever owned a Real Book can clearly remember where they got it from. My story begins in early 2004, so it’s not nearly as cool or as similar to a drug deal as many others have to offer. I had never taken a [...]

Stefan Lessard really needs no introduction. Fonz is the guy who gets to play bass standing next to Carter Beauford, and behind Dave Matthews. For 20 years, since the age of 16, he has been part of Dave Matthews band. They have consistently been at the top of highest grossing tours for years, and have [...]
Pete Griffin has owned the bass chair in two musical situations on COMPLETELY different ends of the spectrum. Namely; Hanson and Zappa Plays Zappa.
