Virginia Bass Forum concert wrap up; Scott Varney, Aaron Gibson, Ben Titus, and Brittany Frompovich

Hmmm…I might have been too aggressive on the electric upright during today’s show. Fortunately, it is an easy fix.



Totally inspired by today’s concert…Scott Varney’s original music with varied textures featuring mouth trumpet, scatting, percussion, funky basslines, looping, vocal harmonies, effects…well, damn. Aaron Gibson’s stripped down approach…who needs effects when you can plug in a bass and throw down like a mutha…great vocals and great songs. Ben Titus showing us the gospel of Chick Corea via an amazing Spain solo bass arrangement…and improvising some amazing material with his new Boss pedalboard like he had owned the thing for years. I’m inspired and full of new ideas and bass geekery after today’s show with these folks. And great conversation at Cap Ale afterwards! Great thoughts on life and making your own unique path/voice/life in this world. Great questions, great stories, great inspiration. For Aaron Gibson – #fightclubmoment! Let’s do it again sometime!
