Ryan Roberts is a freelance bassist in Los Angeles and is the founder of The Bass Shed, which is focused on learning the language of music from legendary bassists and other instrumentalists.
We chat about many topics, including the COVID-19 pandemic and how it is affecting his work life, the impetus to start The Bass Shed and how he is incorporating it into his schedule, and much more.
Enjoy, and be sure to check out Ryan on YouTube, his site, and his podcast. Also, check out my appearance on his podcast here!
