Contact Ton van der Kolk

As a bassist i'm always looking for 'the pocket and locking in'. I'm also a strong believer of the 'less is more concept' and just laying down a solid foundation that will suit the song best and leave room for others.

I've been playing bass over the past 35 years and played on quite some records in different musical genres, from soul and funk to pop, from afrobeat to jazz and from rock to americana. If you're looking for a very fast and technical bassist, please look further because that's not me.

Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.
