I attended his senior recital at VCU a few weeks back and was blown away at his continued growth on the instrument. He&#8217;s worked very hard and has become an outstanding double bassist. I was talking to his roommate, and his roommate and his mother were both commenting on his work ethic. It shows. I&#8217;m very, very proud of him. Today, he announced he was accepted on scholarship to grad school at Eastman. Congrats Drew!<\/p>\n<p>Adding to that, his band the Dharma Bombs will be releasing their new CD on May 11th. (If you are in Richmond, swing by the Camel and check it out!).<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2354\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.ladybassmusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/drew-brunson.jpg?resize=700%2C467&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.ladybassmusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/drew-brunson.jpg?w=959&amp;ssl=1 959w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.ladybassmusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/drew-brunson.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.ladybassmusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/drew-brunson.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.ladybassmusic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/drew-brunson.jpg?resize=272%2C182&amp;ssl=1 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!-- Default Statcounter code for Lady Bass Music\nhttp:\/\/www.ladybassmusic.net --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><br \/>\nvar sc_project=1496529;<br \/>\nvar sc_invisible=0;<br \/>\nvar sc_security=\"ec215b54\";<br \/>\nvar sc_https=1;<br \/>\nvar scJsHost = \"https:\/\/\";<br \/>\ndocument.write(\"<sc\"+\"ript type='text\/javascript' src='\" +\nscJsHost+\n\"statcounter.com\/counter\/counter.js'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, it&#8217;s been a great week of news about former students.
