I’m digging Lake Street Dive’s new album, Free Yourself Up. I’m also digging the videos they’re putting out there in support of it. Here’s the band – with the always excellent Bridget Kearney on bass – performing a live version of “Hang On.”

We’re big fans of Scary Pockets and how they remake tunes in their own funky style. Here’s the band with vocalist George Krikes performing The Beatles’ “Rocky Raccoon.” Bassist Nick Campbell really lays it down on this one.

WFUV once again delivers on some musical discovery (for me, at least) with a new video. Yuno, a Jacksonville, Florida native, is a self-taught musician, producer, and engineer, as well as a talented visual artist. Here’s his song, “Why For,” which he recorded live in Studio A earlier this month. The song is available on Bandcamp and will soon be...

It is truly remarkable what Adam Ben Ezra can do as a one-man show. Here’s a new video from him, from a recent live performance. “Shout-out to the inspirational Netta Barzilai who blew us away with her winning song ‘TOY’ at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest,” Adam said. “So much more than just an awesome musician, also a fantastic role...

Diego Tarantino always impresses us with his videos. He’s shared a few new ones with us recently, and I really dig this one. Diego arranged Kurt Rosenwinkel’s “Use of Light” as a bass showcase. He plays both electric and double bass in the video (and piano).

MonoNeon and John Medeski performed at One Eyed Jacks in New Orleans on April 30th. The band also included Daru Jones, DJ Logic, Jermaine Holmes, Skerik, and Robert Walter. The group debuted at the same location in 2017, and after the response, they decided to do another show. We hope this becomes a regular thing!

The duo of Evan Marien and Dana Hawkins released their latest album, Collection Volume 2 last month. In celebration of the new record, they just shared this video for the track “Turnaround.” The new album is available on .

Brother Strut is a British Funk/Soul band I recently discovered on Facebook. The band is set to release their album, Shake Your Money next week, and they released the video for the title track recently. Jamiroquai’s Paul Turner lays down one funky groove on this one.

Bassist Jonathon Burgess sent us his latest video from his bass and vocals duo, Bravo Victor. “Since releasing their EP in May last year Newcastle bass and voice duo ‘Bravo Victor’ have been tirelessly playing shows on the East Coast of Australia,” they share. “‘Fire and Ice’ has become a crowd favourite at Bravo Victor’s performances and their recent live...

I’ve been really digging this band since my Facebook friend and bassist Ottoni de Leon shared some of their videos. ConeSoul calls themselves “a trio of instrumental pop music based on the groove!!!” Ottoni lays down a funky groove and takes a great solo break on this tune, “Pela Chuva.” This is tight!

The Blues Beatles are back with another video, once again doing their own thing with a classic Beatles song. In this clip, they take on the Beatles’ 1964 hit, “Can’t Buy Me Love.” As always, Bruno Falcão lays down the low end.

Stuart Clayton’s year-long “Bass Lick of the Week” series just hit episode #36. This time around, Stuart is focusing on an up-tempo slap groove exercise. As always, Stuart is offering up the backing track and a PDF worksheet containing the notation/TAB and instructions on how to play the line on his Bassline Publishing website.
