Members Mr. Kent Posted November 7, 2006 Members Share Posted November 7, 2006 ...are any of you familiar with Tori Amos' live appearances? Her bassist is AWESOME! His name is Jon Evans, and he used to play in a band called Redfish Bluefish. He plays a Lakland 5 string, an SWR head through Eden cabs, and has the coolest growling groove I've ever heard. Tori has numerous live performances on YouTube or you can check out her DVD "Welcome to Sunny Florida" for some really spectacular stuff! I just thought I'd share this, because it's been awhile since I've come across a bassist that inspired me like Jon Evans has recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L-1329 Posted November 7, 2006 Members Share Posted November 7, 2006 Tori's music intrigues me. It's sometimes a little hard to 'get', but it's usually something very cool and unique. I always thought it would be a tough job to bass in her band, and he does do a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Kent Posted November 8, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 Guys, I'm telling you...if you like Tori's stuff at all you've GOT to check out her "Welcome to Sunny Florida" DVD. The "live band" consists of just Tori (vocals & piano), Jon Evans (bass), and a drummer whose name escapes me but is truly amazing! They get some insane grooves going on!!! And yes, I must admit...it is arousing the way she straddles that piano bench like a hooker and sings like an angel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
