Jack Semple: Cryin’ For Ya

The Fearless Flyers: Three Basses
Vulfpeck shared this video, with this note: “it started as a bad idea… and became less bad… it’s good.” Fearless Flyers with Joe Dart, Cory Wong, and Mark Lettieri on bass along with Nate Smith on drums? Yeah, we’d say that’s better than good.
