Dave Pomeroy brings some low-end madness to Grimey’s on July 1st at 5 p.m. for a show celebrating the June 1 release of Angel in the Ashes, his third all-bass and vocal solo record. Dave has won Nashville Music Awards for “Bassist of the Year” and “Studio Musician of the Year,” and has played with Chet Atkins, Elton John, Mose Allison, Willie Nelson, and many more. The new album covers a lot of stylistic ground, combining bass-centric covers of songs by Guy Clark, Charles Mingus, Jesse Winchester and The Temptations with nine original tunes, including three loop-based improvised “BassScapes” Instrumentals. Pomeroy also advocates for musicians as President of the Nashville Musicians Association, AFM 257, but his first love will always be playing the bass. He has released 13 albums on his label Earwave, and Dave’s multi-genre one-man show is an entertaining and adventurous ride to outer space and back! www.davepomeroy.com
