Marshall Carlson on SoundBetter

Performed with Dylan Gossett, Sierra Hull, Steve Fishell (EmmyLou Harris), Langhorne Slim, Kris Myers (Umphrey's McGee), as well as members of Mumford & Sons, Something Corporate, and many more! I have frequently been hired for work at Sound Stage Studios in Nashville. Full time bassist in Nashville, TN with 20+ years experience in the industry.

I have worked with HUNDREDS of artists over the last five years since I moved to Nashville. Studio work, tours, private events with all kinds of artists in every genre - I love opportunities to work with and meet new people and can't wait to help bring your project to life. The bass plays a sometimes subtle, yet crucial role in bridging the gap between the voice - the vocals, the story - and the drums, the rhythm, the heartbeat. Having had the pleasure of playing with SO many different artists and musicians over the years, I feel I've been able to develop a diverse vocabulary in order to best communicate with all parts of the song, while trying to never get in the way of what ultimately matters: the vocals and the story that's being told. I look forward to working with you!
