Adam Ben Ezra: The Busker (Live)
We’ve featured Adam Ben Ezra performing “The Busker” before, but this one is new and equally cool. It is always amazing to hear the sounds Adam can create.
Scary Pockets: Is This Love
We recently featured a great Scary Pockets video with Tim Lefebvre anchoring the band on their take of “Valerie.” Here’s another one, with the band’s funky arrangement of Bob Marley’s “Is This Love.”
Joel Quarrington: J.S. Bach Sixth Suite BWV 1012
Joel Quarrington is one of the greatest double bassists of our generation. Here he performs Bach’s entire sixth cello suite, BWV 1012, which features six movements. The emotion put into every note will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Metallica: Seek and Destroy, Live (2018)
“Seek and Destroy” is one of my favorite Metallica songs, so it’s nice to see they’ve kept it in rotation. This clip from Dreamfest is exceptional. Not only does the whole band kill it, Robert Trujillo does one of the craziest stage moves I’ve ever seen.
Marie Spaemann and Snow Owl: Gap
Cellist/vocalist Marie Spaemann and bassist Snow Owl teamed up on this video to perform Spaemann’s “Gap.” This one completely knocked me out. Individually, both musicians play magnificently. Together, it is an incredible musical conversation.
Jonathan Camps and Nicola Moneta: Amazing Grace with an Octobass
Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume knew that you can never have too much bass, which is precisely why he created the octobass. Jonathan Camps and Nicola Moneta perform a beautiful version of “Amazing Grace” with the instrument. Boost your subs for this one.
Dumpstaphunk: “Water” Live (2013)
This version of Graham Central Station’s “Water” by Dumpstaphunk is stellar – AND it has two bassists. Nick Daniels and Tony Hall share Larry Graham’s bass line as they lead the band in this 2013 performance.
Nick Schendzielos: Bass Playthrough of Havok’s “Hang ’Em High”
It’s been a while since we’ve gotten a new Nick Schendzielos video, but this is totally worth the wait. The bassist tears through Havok’s “Hang ‘Em High” in this playthrough video.
Pomplamoose: A Better New Year
Pomplamoose is kicking off 2019 with a great original tune, with a great message. “A Better New Year” features bassist Nick Campbell, and a killer band all around.
Edie Brickell and New Bohemians: Trust
2018 marked the 30th anniversary of Edie Brickell and New Bohemians’ Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars. I remember hearing all the buzz about the band around Dallas when I was studying at nearby North Texas State in the ’80s. Of course, Brad Houser’s bass lines always caught my attention. So, apparently, I’ve been working too hard and missed that the...
Scary Pockets: Valerie
Scary Pockets consistently works with some terrific bass players. In this clip, Tim Lefebvre joins them along with guest vocalist Rett Madison for their take on “Valerie.” Tim lays down some tasty lines on this one!

Geddy Lee is making good use of his time post-Rush. The bassist released his Big Beautiful Book Of Bass recently and sat down with Tom Power’s “q” show on CBC to talk about the book and the instrument.
