So happy to announce that one of my tribute projects, @gloria_estefan_tribute will be performing at the Pala Casino Resort & Spa on Jan 3rd, 2021. To celebrate, here’s the full-length version of how to play fretless bass guitar for the song “Mi Tierra” by Gloria Estefan from her album Mi Tierra. For this video, I used my Michael Kelly Dragonfly acoustic fretless bass, a Kemper Profiler amp, Source Audio pedals, and Ernie Ball Cobalt Flatwound strings.

I’m so happy with my current bass rig.

I’m so happy with my current bass rig. For the past four years or so, using @kemperamps_official has been a game-changer for me, both for my original projects as well as my session work and the cover bands I play in. Having the capability to switch my amp tone at will is like getting to carry all my favorite amps around with me at without breaking my back (or my bank account).

For a few of my projects, I’m now exploring automation for my program/effect changes with @ableton software. Once I get this done, it will free me up during live performances so that I don’t have to mash foot controller buttons and I just can concentrate on playing, singing, and putting on a good show.

I’m putting together a video series for a rundown on my rig, using a Kemper as a bassist, and how to integrate a Kemper with midi effect pedals, Ableton Live, and all kinds of fun stuff. Details coming soon!

I just got to listen to the finished track I played on at a recent recording studio session.

I just got to listen to the finished track I played on at a recent recording studio session. The song came out great, and I can’t wait to share it with y’all once the artist announces the release. I’m so grateful to have these opportunities and experiences: recording in fantastic studios, and contributing & collaborating with such talented artists, musicians, producers and engineers. I’m stoked that I have more recording sessions coming up very soon with my various bands and projects.
