If someone needs a bass player who knows a few things about grooving really hard, they don’t really need to look much farther than Hutch Hutchinson. Yet another bassist who went through the bottleneck that is Berklee College of Music (also a Boston-area native), Hutch is best known for his extremely long tenure with Bonnie Raitt, as well as performances with The Neville Brothers, Brian Wilson, Ringo Starr, Crosby Stills & Nash, Willie Nelson, Bryan Adams, Ryan Adams, Stevie Nicks, Roy Orbison, Garth Brooks, Kathy Mattea and many more!
It feels redundant, but it’s worth saying…if you want to learn about how to play bass in a way that will get you called for some gigs, Hutch is the right guy to take advice from!


















Hutch is one of the greats, totally under-rated!Such great feel and always such fabulous tone. Thanks Jean for telling me about this interview!
Sounds interesting…Give me some bass love!
I’m sorry did i mention that Hutch deserves more appreciation for all he has done through the years..A real groove machine!
