About Me

My name is Stephen Goodwin. This is my profile for unabashed self promotion. Add me. Hire me. Take lessons from me.
Bass from the EastBay, Funkytown, seen on stages worldwide in more genres than you can shake a stick at. I know how to glue a rythm section together. All styles, all feels, all charts, all business, NO BS. Whatever you need, from wherever you need, I can provide. Classically trained, well versed in jazz theory, and playing with 9 or more bands since I was 13; I have been professional since age 17 and averaging 150+ shows/year these last few years (I'm 23). Graduate of the Los Angeles Music Academy, I have studied under Jerry Watts, Hussein Jiffrey, Ed Lucy, Steve Sage, Lynne Davis, Steve Billman, Frank Gambale, Mike Shapiro, Brad Rebuchin, and Erick Wilson. Theatre musicals I have played for: Almost Heaven: John Denver's America (Broadway cast pre-Broadway West coast premier), Seussical (west coast premier), Little Shop of Horrors, Annie Get Your Gun, Pajama Game, Smoky Joe's Cafe, Grease, Footloose, & The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
