I am a Nashville-based bass player that has played on several platinum albums and singles as well as Grammy and Emmy winning songs. You might have heard me on a country song like Girl Crush or Pontoon by Little Big Town or on a singer-songwriter song by Matt Nathanson or Juliana Hatfield. I love my job, and I hope that it is evident in my playing.

check_circleVerifiedJohn has an incredible ability to bring new life and depth to a track. His playing brings feeling and movement that didn’t exist before. When our client asked for a variation of the take that he originally provided, he provided us a new version swiftly, and it was exactly what the client asked for.
check_circleVerifiedLike butter!!! Need some sweet bass tracks? Call John!!! I've been so blessed to have John play on several tracks on my latest project. He's an incredible player and a joy to communicate with. Highly recommended!

check_circleVerifiedJohn has got the groove! Absolute professional who communicates well and produces some incredible bass parts! This is the second tune I've done with John, and he has been prompt, professional, and has just knocked it out of the park on both tunes (both of which were fairly involved). Highly recommended!!!

check_circleVerifiedJohn was absolutely terrific to work with and is a fantastic communicator. John understood exactly what low end was needed on my song and he delivered!

Thank you John for being such a huge help!
