SEEKING

ABOUT

Steven Bloodgood is a bassist who has been recognized by his peers for playing many styles of music with sincerity and enthusiasm. He loves all music and is not restricted to one particular genre, style or fad. He is known for his finger picking/raking style. His popping and slapping funk technique is on point. Stevenâ??s music has a raw energy. For a soft-spoken calm individual, his bass packs a big ass punch! â??Just feel what you play and it will translate to everyone else around youâ?? is Stevenâ??s mantra.
Everything he listens to directs his musical development in some way. However, he would certainly include Larry Graham, Les Claypool, TM Stevens, Bootsy Collins, Steve Harris, Jaco Pastorious and Geezer Butler as amongst his biggest influences.
Steven is versatile, honest, humble and most importantly real. Music is his life and he continues to gain recognition as a hard working bassist across multiple genres.
