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.

It felt so good to be on stage in front of a live audience again with my bandfam in @gloria_estefan_tribute.

It felt so good to be on stage in front of a live audience again with my bandfam in @gloria_estefan_tribute. Given the current pandemic restrictions, the live audience was separated into pods and limited to a few hundred (it’s usually several thousand for this show). However, the City of Buena Park live-streamed the show on their Facebook page and YouTube channel. The band members were spaced much farther apart than usual, and any band members not singing wore masks. It’s gonna take a while for me to get used to the new normal, but it’s worth it in order to protect loved ones and still get to perform live shows.

I’m not all that big on bass solos outside of what fits as a feature for a song, but it is fun to cut loose once in a while.

I’m not all that big on bass solos outside of what fits as a feature for a song, but it is fun to cut loose once in a while. Here’s a clip of the fantastic musicians I work with in @gloria_estefan_tribute trading impromptu solos at a gig during ‘Conga’.
