Kate Gillespie sent us her latest video, and we dig the vibe. Inspired by the CAKES tune, “Eucalyptus”, Kate decided to create her own musical interpretation with double bass and vocals.

The Main Squeeze, like the rest of us, is stuck at home. But that’s not stopping the band from bringing some great new videos our way, live from The Squeeze House. In this clip, they perform their take on the Derek and the Dominos tune, “Layla.”

It has been a while since we’ve featured a video by Evan Marien. Time to fix that. In this clip, Evan plays along to his latest track, “Heart Glow“, “along with some extra licks and chords.”

While we’ve featured some of the REO Brothers’ excellent Beatles covers previously, the band covers a lot more than that. In this clip, they take on Simon & Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson.”

Back in June, we shared a video by the Rebecca Johnson Band performing Steely Dan’s “Peg”. Here’s another from the same set. Rebecca says this is a favorite song in her setlist: “You Got The Love” from the Rufus & Chaka Khan album, “Rags to Rufus”.

Time is flying by. And now that we’ve started a new month, it is time to look back via our monthly bass gear roundup. Here are the top 10 reader favorite gear stories for the month of July 2020.

Tedeschi Trucks Band shared this video a couple of weeks ago, and it hit the spot. From their 2016 performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, here’s a great clip with Tim Lefebvre laying down the foundation.

Leonid & Friends is back with another video, and back to doing another great Chicago cover. This one is quite a production, with the Caro-Bass Orchestra joining Leonid Vorobyev and the band on “(I've Been) Searchin' So Long.”

Our friend Pete O’Neill shared his latest video with us, and it has all the fretless goodness. Check out his performance of “Always Something There to Remind Me,” featuring his Nado Bajlo Whalebass.

Every once in a while, a submission comes through for Reader Spotlight for someone I know. In the case of Joshua Sailor, I know him well. So it is a thrill to share his story with you.

It’s a trying time for all of us, but especially for gigging musicians. Earlier this month, Bill Frisell and his Trio performed in the Kensington neighborhood in Brooklyn. Here’s a clip of them performing “What The World Needs Now.”

Here’s a new video from Martin Miller and Mark Lettieri, and this one is more chill than others we’ve shared in the past. In this clip, the group takes on Jeff Beck’s version of “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers,” including a sweet solo by Benni Jud.
