Band Members: Vance Hazen on upright and electric bass
Influences: I enjoy listening to, playing, and am influenced by mostly organic music. If there are drums, usually with a single kick drum. Rootsy stuff or Americana, traditional Latin & jazz, soul, funk, Motown, R&B, classic country and rock. Stuff like Elvis, Sinatra, Beatles, Clash, Otis Redding, Charles Mingus, Los Lobos, James Jamerson, Bootsy Collins, Thomas Yearsley, Curtis Mayfield, Beastie Boys, The Band(Rick Danko), Kris Kristoferson, Gram Parsons, Beck, CCR, Sublime, Cowboy Junkies, Strokes, Cracker, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Beach Boys, Beck, Radiohead, Calexico, Tom Waits, Ray Brown, Donald Duck Dunn, Kevin Smith, Billy Horton, Shins, Ramones, Pogues, Nick Cave, Modern Lovers, Aretha Franklin, Pink Floyd, The Dead, T.Rex, Thin Lizzy, Badfinger...Too many to keep going, but I have to say the musicians not already mentioned here in Austin and Dayton (many of which are myspace friends) who have influenced, taught, hired, and encouraged me over the years. Thank you
