Ian Burns, Boutique Basses and a Goose - Episode 24

An interview with the incredible bassist Norm Stockton.  Norm has played for years with Lincoln Brewster as well as many other well known artists.  He is also a leading bass instructor and has his own solo albums that feature some outstanding music.  We also talk about his latest Kingston variation of his MTD Signature bass.

Jermaine Morgan is one of the top online Gospel bass instructors.  In this episode we interview Jermaine and get a lot of good insight to playing Gospel bass.

Both Chris McClarney and Jesse Phillips are interviewed together in this episode.  They talk about their new record label, Real Fun Records, songwriting and some fun backstories.  Don't miss this interview!

We're finally back with a new episode.  Time for some catching up and to tell you about my latest Precision persuasion.

Sorry to get heavy on you, but secular musicians laugh at us when we struggle to memorize 4 songs a week.  As worship musicians we should be the ones setting the higher standard.

Another "Average Joe" interview - this time with my new friend, Brandon Moore, of Transformation Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.

In this episode we lighten our load by *GASP* selling 2 MusicMan Stingray basses in order to "Make Room" for something new.  Brent also gets on a soapbox about bass weight before sharing a recording of his worship team performing a song... minus the worship team.... 

It's been a little bit of a delay since last episode, so it's story time to tell about everything going on.

In this episode I do an "Average Joe" interview with my new friend Ian Burns.  Since the interview is in person, I get to check out his collection of boutique basses while learning about his pre-Jesus history touring in a popular secular band.  Oh, and we get interrupted by his loud goose...

In this episode we interview Jesse Phillips, bassist at Church of the City.  Jesse is a talented musician with a great list of credentials (Church of the City, Chris McClarney, Christy Nockels, Aaron Shust, etc.).  But the coolest thing about him is his heart for Christ and a desire to build up others in the Kingdom.
