I am a touring musician, on the road all over the US about six months a year. When i am not on the road, I live in Oakland, CA with the love of my life, my beautiful girlfriend Natalie, and our little chihuahua/pit bull cross Bernito.I have been lucky enough to make my living playing the double bass for the past twelve years and I love traveling and playing every chance I get. My current projects include the Eric McFadden Trio, James Whiton and the Downtown Apostles, Rev. Jimmy and the Heavenly Knockers, and Michael Shrieve's Tangletown. More info at my website http://www.jameswhiton.comI spend what little spare time I have reading, working on old cars and trucks, looking for a good chess game, running in Seward Park, listening to music, writing music, and playing with cute little chihuahuas.
