American Idol Bassist?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey all, forgive me if this question has already been posted, but who is the bass player on American Idol?

Only reason I care is one contestant, Siobhan Magnus is from my village in MA. Never would have watched otherwise.

I think the band doesn't get enough props.

Thanks!

Rickey Minor. He's replacing Kevin Eubanks on Tonight Show with Jay Leno soon.

Thanks, man you guys are good. I heard some cool grooves and (of course) solid playing. I knew TB would hook me up!

Thought I saw a beautiful red Sadowsky recently in his hands.

mmmmmm, Sadowsky..........................

Yeah. That bass is hot...and I'm a pretty hardcore passive Fender kinda guy.

You're right the AI band doesn't really get their props. Are they all going to the Tonight Show, or is it just Minor? Anyone know?

I'd like to give some respect to the American Idol touring band bassist -- Derrick "Swole" Ray, who I think is one of the best.

BTW, one of the singers on American Idol is Donny Hathaway's daughter. Absolutely killer band.
