| Kenny Hester Bass / Funk / Classic R&B / Rock & Roll/Roots
Boston, MA Bass player/Songwriter
Music creates such unity and harmony. When you strike a musical chord, each note within that chord agrees with every other note in that chord creating perfect harmony. People need to be more like music.
I am a bass player who has worked with a variety of both cover and original bands in the Greater Boston area. I also write songs and I'm hoping to release a solo CD in 2008. I've had airplay on local radio stations WBRS (Brandeis University) and WCG7 93.7 in Boston with one original band. I have a diverse background in music with experience playing Rock, R&B, Funk, Pop and Contemporary Jazz. I've also performed for large audiences at venues that include the John Hancock Hall auditorium and City Hall Plaza in Boston, MA, the Lowell auditorium in Lowell, MA and the DCU Center in Worcestor, MA. My performances also include a showcase for the radio station Kiss 108FM and a performance with Grammy award winner Betty Wright for the Boston Red Sox rally. I can be found at www.thepassing.com and www.questband.net
My gear: I own 2 bass guitars. The primary bass is a custom left handed 5 stringed Carvin LB75. It is my Excaliber that I've owned for 15 years. My blood sweat and tears are on it. It has served me well. The 2nd bass I own is a left handed Fender Jazz 4 string. I bought it as a back up.
