On Friday the 12^th of March at 7pm Dawsons Music Reading will become home to Bass Legend and Hartke endorsee, Stuart Hamm.

Through his innovative work as a solo artist and his contributions as a sideman to Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, Stuart Hamm has firmly established himself as one of the most influential electric bassists of the past half-century. Extending the non-traditional function of the electric bass previously revolutionised by Jaco Pastorius and Stanley Clarke in the 1970s, Hamm helped to reshape the contemporary concept of the bass guitar as an unaccompanied instrument with the utilization of polyphonic, two-handed tapping, slapping and popping techniques, chords, and harmonics. Hamm is at the forefront of his generation who effectively fused the application of these unconventional techniques.

Stu will be in-store demonstrating his techniques through the latest bass amps from Hartke. To register for your FREE place for this event please call Dawsons Music Reading on 0118 958 1320 or email reading@dawsons.co.uk.
