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.
