JUNE 25 LIVE MUSIC: Blake Shaw
Iowa City resident, double & electric bassist, vocalist, composer/arranger, and teacher Blake Shaw brings a wide variety of inspiration to the table. Being an ambitious and hungry bassist has helped him navigate through many different genres of music and work with a wide variety of artists. In his solo project he not only showcases his original tunes but adds a mix of jazz-influenced arrangements that take swing music to another level. When Blake plays solo you can hear him grooving like Charlie Hunter playing bass notes and chords like a guitar simultaneously. He’ll also use loop pedals to accompany his melodies stretching from R&B, rock, blues, pop, jazz, and more. With that and other effects pedals Blake creates an atmosphere leaving you wondering, “Is that really one person?”. Yes, the answer is yes.
