Super excited to bring one of our first guests, Liam Galiano, back to The Story!Liam Galiano is Lancaster’s resident bass geek. He loves nothing more than exploring the instrument, learning every sound that’s come before and searching for any new sound yet to be uncovered.As a hired gun, Liam is a wise old chameleon. He can play whatever the song calls for, be it a perfectly in-the-pocket quarter note root, a funky slap groove, a high-speed picked unison lick, or a classic two-feel on a double bass.As one third of Soul Miners Union, Liam is a storyteller. Aside from co-authoring the lyrics, he carefully constructs the bass lines to contribute to the arc of the tale. Dynamics, shifts from upper to lower registers, and careful use of space allow Liam to support the song’s message.As a collaborator, he enjoys reinterpreting classic tunes as well as exploring the relationship between bass and other instruments. He loves performing in a duo capacity, most commonly as “Liam & Anna” with the fantastic singer Anna Kerstetter. This format allows him to explore the chordal side of the 6-string bass, while always serving the song.As a solo artist, the song serves the bass. A showcase for extended-scale extended techniques, Liam loves to employ slap, tap, chords, and especially harmonics to try to take the instrument where it hasn’t been before.Bass is a role in music – it can be filled by a Fender Precision, yes, but also by a piano or tuba, or voice. But bass is also an instrument, capable of much more than playing the root notes. This is Liam’s passion – to celebrate the total instrument and the many conventional and not-so-conventional ways it can translate music from his soul to your ears.You can check out Liam and all his projects here:Facebook: @liamgalianobassYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@liamgalianoSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6CLKpwCurhzxSWCIsCRDZQ...Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@liamgalianoFind The Story Podcast here: https://www.coryrosenproductions.com/podcastsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-story/donations
