Show notes

If you know what you want to do, and you get bitten by the bug of your chosen field, nothing can stop you. Even though bassist Tanya O'Callaghan was bitten late, she made up for lost time by hustling and working constantly to master her instrument. Several short years later, Tanya has carved an incredible international career for herself as an in-demand artist in the studio and on the road. These are just a few of the amazing artists she's played with: Maynard James Keenan, Joshua Eustis, Orianthi, Ronnie Wood, and The Coors.

When I think of Jazz, the violin is not usually the first instrument that comes to mind, but today's guest has set me straight. Zach Brock is the real deal and I'm so glad we found a break in his schedule to have him on the show. He's been a member of Snarky Puppy going back to the early days of the band and has played with the likes of Matt Ulery, Bill Laurence, Wycliffe Gordon, Stanley Clarke, Phil Markowitz and Dave Liebman.
