BIG EARS FESTIVAL

Les Claypool’s Bastard Jazz

“Known for his tappin’, thumpin’, pluckin’, and flamenco-like strummin’, Claypool has truly solidified his position as a legend in the bass guitar world.” – MixDown

Les Claypool is the one of the most unlikely success stories in the entertainment history. His trademark voice, thumping bass lines and unique worldview have become the calling cards for a number of wildly successful and influential albums in the last two decades, including the seminal alt-rock band Primus. But through his myriad of musical and creative projects, Claypool has also become a favorite of metalheads, jam banders, funk connoisseurs and pretty much everything in-between.
