Bass
Matt Weiner is one of the busiest bass players in the Northwest. Inspired by the “prebop” bass players and their music, he’s slapping out a syncopated jazz feel on one tune, on another, bowing a folksy melody.
Matt can be spotted around Seattle and other places playing with The Cloud Drops, Jacob Zimmerman, Jonathan Doyle, Ray Skjelbred, Cole Schuster, Ray Larsen, Hans Teuber, Arnt Arntzen, Del Rey, Barton Carroll, Squirrel Butter, Wayne Horvitz, and others. He has also recorded and performed with The Todalo Shakers, The Hot Club of Cowtown, Butch Thompson, Becky Kilgore, Danny Barnes, Jon-Erik Kellso, James Hill, and many others.
Matt has taught at the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, the Yukon Woodshed Acoustic Music Workshop, the Colorado Roots Music Camp, the Portland Ukulele Festival, the Astoria Tenor Guitar Gathering, the Menucha Ukulele Bandcamp, the John C. Campbell Folk School, and 4 different Centrum music camps: the Ukulele Festival, the Country Blues Festival, Voiceworks and the Red Hot Strings Workshop.
