Overview

I’m a San Diego local currently studying bass at San Diego State. I’ve played electric bass for eight years, performed live with many different bands, and I’m comfortable in almost any genre - rock, blues, funk, R&B, pop, jazz, you name it. I am also classically trained on upright bass, I can become part of a new or preexisting classical group, or provide my own classical ensemble upon request. I’m looking to offer my services as a bassist for local gigs, recording projects, music videos, 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 electric and classical bassist with almost a decade of experience performing live. I’ve played classical orchestra concerts as the first chair bassist with the San Diego Youth Symphony, the San Diego State University Symphony Orchestra, and multiple chamber groups. I double as a jazz bassist on upright and electric, playing everywhere from house parties to local restaurants and bars. I’m currently in a handful of established bands: one rock, one pop, and one psychedelic/classic rock. I’m also well versed in recording, whether it be a song, soundtrack, or album. I’ve played hundreds of live shows, and I’m always looking to continue gaining experience. Don’t hesitate to reach out for any music related needs.
