Allen Hunter

Session and touring bassist

Allen Hunter on SoundBetter

Touring bassist w/ Eels since 2005 - 7 world tours, major festivals, live DVD/CDs, US & UK TV appearances. Portland-based session recording artist - work w/ producers Ron Nevison, Gus Berry, Jeff Saltzman, Steven Lee Tracy, et al. Play/record/tour w/ Ural Thomas & The Pain, Kathryn Claire, Anita Lee & The Handsome 3, Michael Dean Damron, et al.

Extremely versatile, I enjoy finding the bass line that serves the song. Happy and able to reproduce written parts, and always show up thoroughly prepared with at least a couple different sounds for each track. Very easy to get along with, a fast learner and a hard worker.
As a touring musician, I am comfortable in front of all sizes and types of audiences and in all manner of venues. I am an entertaining performer, but can also be a supportive background musician. I am also able to cover other instruments when required - check out to Eels Live At Town Hall DVD to see me play upright bass, celeste, piano, pump organ and even autoharp!

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
