OTEIL BURBRIDGE

Oteil Burbridge is one of the most respected bass players on the Southern music scene.  He is an original member of the cult band Aquarium Rescue Unit led my Col. Bruce Hampton, who are regrouping for a reunion tour this summer.  He was the original bass player in the Tedeschi Trucks Band, and he received a Grammy lifetime achievement award for his 17 year stint with the legendary Allman Brothers Band.

He departed the TTB in order to start a family and he is now the very proud father of a healthy baby boy.  To spend more time with his family he is selective about touring and has really been mixing it up these past few years.

If you’ve listened to my interviews with John Scofield, Jimmy Herring, Derek Trucks, and Jeff Sipe you know his name has come up several times.  He is all about the music and it was a treat for finally talk to the man himself.
