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.

Endorse John Thomasson- check_circleVerified
We really enjoy working with John! The tracks are perfect every time and it’s some of the best bass tone that we have heard! We’ve worked on genres from country to latin to rock to pop to contemporary christian music and indie and John nails all of it.
