This past New Year’s Day, at around 4 A.M., I found myself in a basement nightclub on Broadway in New York, riding my second (or perhaps third) wind of the night after being in turns impressed and shocked by my very first Touchpants performance. In addition to veteran performers such as Phish drummer Jon Fishman, the band also included Aram Bedrosian, a supremely talented bassist hailing from Burlington. Though I’d met him several months before, it was my first time seeing him live onstage. I’m not a musician, but it doesn’t take one to know that Aram kicks ass on the bass.
Aram is a soloist, ensemble player, teacher and composer – you can occasionally catch him guest-playing with visiting bands such as Beats Antique, and he’s about to release a new album, A Dark Light. Check out a preview of the album here and stay tuned on his website for details. He’ll also be playing with Touchpants again at Nectar’s on April 20. Cheers!
