Stu Hamm: THE DIARY OF PATRICK XAVIER New Album, Solo Bass & Story Telling Tour 2018
Through his innovative work as a solo artist and his contributions as a sideman to Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, Stu Hamm has firmly established himself as one of the most influential electric bassists of the past half-century.
Extending the non-traditional function of the electric bass revolutionized in the 1970s, Hamm helped to reshape the contemporary concept of the bass guitar as an unaccompanied instrument with the utilization of polyphonic, two-handed tapping, slapping and popping techniques, chords, and harmonics.
Although Hamm certainly wasnt the first bass player to debut during the 1980s and employ an unorthodox approach to playing the electric bass, he was undoubtedly at the forefront of his generation who effectively fused the application of these unconventional techniques.
As one of today's leading bassists, Hamm has released four critically-acclaimed studio recordings. Stu showcased his unique style of playing the bass as a lead instrument both within a solo environment and various ensemble formats on a genre-spanning spectrum of repertoire that merged rock, jazz, fusion, classical, country, and urban sounds.
Stu will be performing a one-man show, demonstrating his legendary techniques, telling stories from the road and the studio, and essentially doing a Master Class bass clinic!
