Stuart Hamm

Stuart "Stu" Hamm is an American bass guitar player, known for his session and live work with numerous artists as well for his unconventional playing style and solo recordings. Stu Hamm attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He has performed and recorded with [a=Steve Vai], [a=Frank Gambale], [a=Joe Satriani] and many other well-respected guitarists. It was playing live on tour with Satriani that brought Hamm's skills to national attention. Subsequent recordings with Satriani and other rock/fusion artists, along with the release of his own solo recordings (featuring keyboard player [a=Tommy Mars]) solidified his reputation as a bassist and performer.
