Overview

I’m a professional bassist currently based in San Diego and Los Angeles. I mainly work as a hired gun for tours, recording sessions, and local gigs. Most recently, I went on a six week international tour with the band Worry Club, played in a 4 month run of a musical covering all the hits of the 70’s, and opened for YG at Cal Coast Open Air Theater with my hometown band. I’m always looking for gigs: tours, recordings, churches, weddings, local band gigs, etc. Don’t hesitate to reach out!

A prodigious talent...

Avery is a highly skilled and capable musician. Not only is she well trained and versatile across many styles, she is has enormous talent! She recently played for an event at my church and delivered on every level--punctual, well prepared, super kind, and had a great chemistry with our band. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a bassist who can "lay it down" and play in the pocket. Great improviser too!

About

I am a professional bassist currently based in Los Angeles and San Diego. I have a decade of experience performing live, I studied classical upright bass for ten years and currently specialize in playing electric bass for tours, recordings, and local bands.

Most recently, I was on a six week international tour with the band Worry Club, opened for YG at Cal Coast Open Air Theater with my hometown band, and played bass in a four month run of a musical covering the hits of the 70’s. I’m extremely versatile genre-wise, and my stage presence radiates the genuine love I have for playing live music.

I’m actively looking for gigs: tours, recording, churches, weddings, bands, anything under the sun. Don’t hesitate to reach out!
