Great sound for an ABG.

She's got talent! Really like her playing.

A Doolin fretless bass made by Portland's own Mike Doolin. I got to play with him Friday night.

Looks like she could be a relative of Billy Preston.

The record is great too - she is just a great musician all around. It's great that it isn't just a platform for her to show us how good she can play the bass, instead it's a bunch of fully formed songs that kill.
And she is great to look at too. LOL

I liked that the guitar player was rocking a Godin, it seems that there are a lot of jazz cats playing them. They do play amazing and sound good as well.

Nice clip, thanks. Her hair still has that 'natural' look like the time I caught her on TV playing DB, recently.

And I would point out she is playing bass amazingly and singing at the same time which as we all know takes some serious ability!

Not only is she playing and singing at the same time.. but the rhythms and notes are so syncopated..
