Fender Bass man Tom Bonacquisti, who hails from the Rochester, N.Y., area, is an ex-L.A. session player. Tom has been playing the bass since he was 13 and throughout his life and during college Tom played in many and varied situations. During his L.A. session days he worked with jazz great Lee Ritenour, drummer Mike Rosen and Burt Summer in the musical production of “HAIR”.
Tom has also worked on the same venues and opening for national acts such as The Outlaws, Ray Charles, Roomful Of Blues and others. Tom's style is influenced by such greats as Roy Brown, Tommy Shannon and "Duck” Dunn of Booker T and the MG's fame. Tom's '57 vintage Fender P bass locks up the groove and puts that bottom “in your face.” After an 18-year hiatus to raise a family, Tom is back to play for us and we couldn't be more happy to have him.
