Due to a late gig cancellation Doug Wimbish will be appearing at the Bass Merchant from 3pm on Monday the 8th June . Highly respected Virtuoso bassist Doug Wimbish, a highly respected and sought-after master of his instrument, Doug records and performs with a diverse roster of talent. From his early days with Sugarhill Records, to his pioneering work in TackHead and Living Colour, Doug is best described as a musical virtuoso.
In 1991, Doug’s long time friend and lead guitarist for Living Colour, Vernon Reid, was looking for a new bass player. It was actually drummer Will Calhoun that encouraged him to join. Doug joined Living Colour and went on to record two highly successful albums: Stain and Pride. In 1993, Living Colour was awarded a Grammy nomination for a song co-written by Doug, "Leave It Alone." After Living Colour split, Doug then teamed up with his band mate Will Calhoun and renowned jazz vocalist Vinx, to create the group Jungle Funk. Their sound has been described as "drum and bass infused poetic music."
