In today\\u2019s podcast we catch up with the extraordinary talented Evan Marien.

Evan first emerged as a force to be reckoned with with his duo recordings that featured drummer Dana Hawkins. About to hit the road with guitar legend Allan Holdsworth, his latest solo EP builds on his flexibility as both accompanist and soloist. In fact, Evan\\u2019s solo prowess is little short of awe-inspiring, particularly when playing his Ken Smith 5-string, but for all his speed (and he\\u2019s one of the fastest around), his ideas remain crystal clear. \\u201cI listen to a lot of different types of music and I love bass players of all styles,\\u201d said Evan. \\u201cBut there\\u2019s obviously a heavy fusion influence in my own music and in my own playing.\\u201d If you're a member at ScottsBassLessons you can look out for a brand-new course from Evan coming very soon.
