John Thomasson on SoundBetter

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.

    John is as patient as he is talented. I accidentally gave him some bad info on the song we were working on, and he was able to understand the issue and address it quickly. Such a good dude!

    I work with John on literally every piece of music I record, so my feedback probably starts to repeat itself, but it's all true. He's such a cool and talented dude, and will always be my go-to.

    Hard at work on a new album and there's no one I'd rather have on bass than John. Whether the tracks are hard or mellow, he never fails to deliver an amazing performance!

    John was an excellent addition to this project! He sent me a couple of options to choose from and was kind and communicative throughout the process. He is a true professional through and through and I'm grateful to have him on this next song. Thank you John!!
