We are SUPER stoked to announce another new guest, Liam Galiano, to The Story!Liam started playing bass in a Lancaster County high school when Primus’ “Tommy the Cat” inspired him to stop pretending to play clarinet and start pretending to slap bass. Luckily, thanks in large part to lessons with professor and consummate bassist Tim Wolfe, Liam learned to tastefully play any genre, at least well enough to not get fired!This has led him to a still early but successful career of session work and live performance for a huge variety of artists and genres. Not limited to his ’75 Fender Jazz, Liam also plays upright bass in musicals, and six-string bass in his own music. He released a Christmas album performed exclusively on solo bass and voice, and plans to release some new original music this year. Before joining Soul Miners Union, Liam toured with Sun & Rain and shared bills with some of the top names in that scene including Perpetual Groove, Papadosio, and Tauk.While he still loves the absolutely bombastic creativity of high school idols Les Claypool and Brian Richie, Liam’s biggest influences today are those bass legends who have not only chops, but also restraint. Through studying Marcus Miller, Chuck Rainey, James Jamerson, Victor Wooten, Geddy Lee, and so many others, Liam has found his own voice. As the great Ian Martin Allison says, “I have never wanted to be the star; I wanted to be the star’s bass player.”Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-story/donations
