Chuck
Chuck Bailey, former bassist for Kid Deposit Triumph, session bassist, and hired gun from Las Vegas NV. I have worked on solo music, played with some amazing musicians and bands and work on bass tracks and session work in between playing shows on the Las Vegas Strip. Most recent escapades took us on the 311 Jamaican Cruise where we played with bands like RX Bandits, Chali 2na, and of course 311! Since then I have collaborated with bands like Bravo Delta, Justin Carder (check out his Song “The Wine and the Whiskey” which can be heard on Netflix original sitcom The Ranch, The Black Jacks, Singles, Anti-Gravity, All Too Familiar. Empire Records, Ddendyl Hoyt (From The Voice!) and thankfully many more! I have always been fascinated with the bass because of the typical mindset a lot of guys had for it. Like it is limited because it isn't a guitar or the epic “4 string” argument… they are all just entertaining because Bass is such a new instrument and there are amazing musicians, music and approaches being seen every day! I am just happy to be a part of it and make some new friends and some new music along the way!
