Guest Musician: Liam Graham

http://www.liamgraham.com/

Liam specializes in melodic, sensitive playing on electric fretless bass. Growing up just 2 hours from Nashville, he has always been influenced by the fine, tasteful playing of that area's musicians. Liam has performed and / or recorded with Chris Smith (Smile, Brian May bandmate), Andy Gurley (Nashville session musician, producer and lead guitarist for country group Blue County), blues singer / guitarist "Fast" Layne Hendrickson (Legendary Shack Shakers writer and collaborator), and a number of cover bands and jazz combos, as well as local Seattle-area artists such as the power trio Childhood Zen, champion fiddler Stuart Williams, and pan-celtic group Crooked Mile. He currently plays with Cake Records artist Holly Figueroa, fingerstyle guitar standout Peter Spencer, and singer-songwriter-mandolist Susan Welch, and is a first-call session bassist at more than one Pacific Northwest studio. In a previous life, Liam made his living
(barely!) as a classical singer, conductor and composer. He still sings, loving to add his high tenor voice on harmonies. Liam is also an accomplished flutist, a talent which rears its ugly head from time to time, no matter how hard he tries to suppress it ...
