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.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

    John Thomasson is a caring, cautious bass player to your needs. He listens to what you envision, and then even makes suggestions on alternatives.

    I will definitely have John play on future songs - great experience.

    Thank you John

    Best,
