Marc Friedman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marc Friedman (b. Ohio, June 18, 1977) is an electric bassist/multi-instrumentalist and composer. Marc tours internationally and has recorded seven full-length albums with Boston based Avante-Rock power trio The Slip. His bass playing with The Slip (formed c.1995) has been regarded by most as widely influential and purely creative. Marc is a co-arranger/producer/writer of the band's material along with the other two members, Brad and Andrew Barr. Technical prowess with mature restraint and acute improvisational skills are part of Marc's best known musical traits. In and around Boston, Marc has taught private lessons to aspiring bass players and improvisors for many years. Teaching is a fortifying outlet for Marc's inventive approaches to modern electric bass playing and improvising. Marc attended Berklee College of Music for two semesters in 1995/96.
