Freekbass Sherman Email & Phone Number

Freekbass is one of the world’s great bass players. He has graced the cover of Bass Musician Magazine, Bass Guitar Magazine/UK, three times, and has been featured in Bass Player Magazine, several more. He has hosted master classes at “Bass Player Live” in Los Angeles and New York and “The London Bass Guitar Show”. And along with these bass superpowers, Freekbass has a funk music pedigree that is authentic. He has worked alongside funk legends, Bootsy Collins (who gave him his nickname during a studio session) calling Freekbass “The New Spiritual Warrior for the Funk” and keyboard icon, Bernie Worrell, who guested on many of Freekbass’ albums and live projects.Touring group, Freekbass & The Bump Assembly, lead by Freekbass on bass and vocals, features a musical dream team featuring drummer, Rico Lewis (previously with George Clinton), Sky White on keys (Foxy Shazam) and vocalist, Sammi Garett (Turkuaz). The Freekbass sound is rich with danceable, infectious grooves, by a wealth of collaborative musicianship, and an energetic nonstop performance. Quite simply, this is a show.Freekbass has released eight albums to date, including his 2019 release from Eddie Robert’s label (The New Mastersounds), Color Red. Childhood friend and Grammy Award winning songwriter, Itaal Shur, co-wrote several of the new tracks on the forthcoming album, which will also feature Roberts, Garett, Lonnie “Meganut” Marshall, and the late, great, “Razor Sharp” Johnson. The album blends the origins of funk with the new, but also a mix of regional influences under the guidance of Roberts as co-producer. In Cincinnati, one of the original hotbeds for funk music and home to James Brown label, King Records, Freekbass won the 2019 “Best Funk/R&B Band” at The Cincinnati Entertainment Awards, his fifth time winning the award.As the landscape of the music industry changed dramatically in 2020, Freekbass cultivated new platforms to perform within. He organically connected with fans via Facebook Live chats on Saturday nights. That quickly evolved into a weekly feature on JamBase, interviewing musicians and industry pros, talking about music in a world of social distancing. To date, Freekbass has interviewed Stefan Lessard (Dave Matthews Band), Laura Lee (Khruangbin) and Eddie Roberts (New Master Sounds). The progression was a leap from his current monthly feature in Bass Musician Magazine, called "Bass2Bass with Freekbass" in which Freekbass interviews inspirational and relevant bass players.
