I was recently nominated for a DC Wammie Award for my work on No Treble’s “Wonder Women; Stories From the Women Who Play Bass” series. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out here. My interview with Angeline Saris (bassist for Zepperalla and the recent “Celebrating David Bowie” tour) is currently the cover feature on the site. You can check out the archive of all my interviews and features here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Wonder Women series grew out of the desire to tell the stories of female bassists, not only to give them exposure but more importantly to weave their stories into the narrative of the bass community, in the way that many bassists come to know the lore and the stories of players like Jaco Pastorius or Larry Graham. Once I’ve chatted with these women, their stories become part of the No Treble archive…searchable…forever. It’s been a fascinating journey to be on, for both myself, my editor, and the various musicians around me (the majority of whom are male)… it’s been pretty educational and inspiring for all involved!<\/p>\n
