THEBASSGUY NINE TIMES

 

New York City bassist Michael Cohen – also known as thebassguy -- has been playing blues, R&B and rock for over 25 years.  In the tri-state area, he has been the driving beat with a number of bands including Big Carl, Blue Mercy, Hard Bargain, Juke House Kings and Toots & the Shades.  With a series of great gigs and solid demos under his belt, Cohen longed to get the music out to those who would appreciate it, and found garageband.com and its unique user-review system to be the best vehicle. 

Garageband.com, also known as Garageband Records, has featured nine different songs recorded by Cohen as “Track of the Day” since last year, an uncommon occurrence on the site.  The featured tracks, mostly remakes and covers along with several original songs by thebassguy and bandmates, were all co-produced by Cohen.  On Christmas Eve 2000, his original song “More Blues Than I Can Use” was the first one chosen by users as Track of the Day. 

“I’m hoping for an even 10 songs by the end of 2001!” Cohen says. “The only thing these nine songs have in common is me, thebassguy.” 

Presently, thebassguy can be found holding down the bottom line for Hard Bargain, a seven-piece R&B band featuring veteran blues vocalist “King Arthur” Canady.   

The featured tracks can be found as RealAudio files at garageband.com, under thebassguy (http://www.garageband.com/artist/thebassguy), or each featured band (http://www.garageband.com/artist/hardbargain, http://www.garageband.com/artist/jukehousekings, or  http://www.garageband.com/artist/big_carl

Cohen’s web pages at thebassguy.com feature his music as well as excellent original photography, artwork, astronomy, bass and blues links and contact information for anyone interested in hiring or contacting thebassguy. 

A native of Atlanta, Cohen lived in Florida and Connecticut before settling in New York.
