Wally Hustin
It all started when I was a little boy at the age of 8 years old. I heard a James Brown song, and it was funky, and I was hooked by the bass line. After that I bugged my mom for my first bass guitar, which happened to be a St. George bass that looked like a Fender! It's all we could afford back in the day. Then many years of practice and thousands of gigs later I'm still doing what I loved as a little boy. MUSIC! They say if you have a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. So with that being said, being a sideman is a pretty interesting career. You never know what to expect in showbiz. Always a challenge from one day to the next. But because of it, I've been fortunate to work with a diverse group of bands and musicians. I've performed or recorded with Dave Mason, David Benoit, Mike Stern, Vinnie Colaiuta, Mecca, Kenny Aronoff, Dave Uhrich, Todd Sucherman, City of Sound, Kofi Baker, John Denver, Jim Krieger, Rob Mullins, Tony Guerrero, Phoebe Snow, Carvin Winan, Chuchito Valdez, Joanna Rosario, St Sabina Levites, Will Kennedy, Paul Wertico, Robert Irving III, Eric Levy, Som Brazil, Jarek Smietana, Breno Sauer, Steve Cole, Sons of Cream, Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir, Karen Mason, Masque, Les DeMerle, Reginald T. McCants, Skinny Williams, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Bal, Mr Myers, Sarah VonderHaar, Spencer Davis, Chris Otepka, and Hal Krueger to name a few! Plus all my Chi-town friends, who without them I wouldn't be where I am today! You have to remember this is Chicago where the players play for keeps.This is the training ground for the real world of music! Touring,recording, and live performance. We have the best musicians in the world right here in Chi-town! I've also recorded countless jingles and sessions.
Last but not least I have to thank my wife Virgie and my daughter Senni for putting up with me. But also supporting me in my crazy career. They are the love of my life! I thank God for blessing me with this great life!
