The Slip’s Marc Friedman To Join American Babies On Bass
Marc Friedman, best known to Jambands readers as a founding member of both The Slip and Surprise Me Mr. Davis, has officially joined Tom Hamilton’s American Babies as their new bassist. While The Slip effectively remain on hiatus, Friedman had recently moved to San Francisco to join the band Big Light full time. There is no word regarding Friedman’s continued involvement with Big Light. American Babies leader Hamilton has issued an official statement on the new addition to his band:
“After platooning the bassist position for the last year, we are happy to say that we found ourselves a steady buddy to fill out the rhythm section. Starting on Feb 1, The Babies and I will be welcoming Marc Friedman from The Slip as our new Captain of the Low End. As many of you already know, Marc is one of the most talented musicians our scene has known and we are all extremely excited to see where the music goes from here. Catch ya out there!”
