Hello.
I'm Uriah Duffy, and I'm a bassist. I'm here for tours,
sessions & good times. And yes, that's my bass on all those tracks up there in Uriah Radio!
April 22, 2008: two new releases which I performed bass duties on: 1- the new Whitesnake album (Good To Be Bad), and 2- the new Lyrics Born album (Everywhere At Once).
As a freelancer I play mostly Urban Music,
primarily RnB & funk. You'll also find me in various
other situations, wheather it be Rock, Jazz, Hip-hop, and even Metal.
I really do love each genre, and bring a professional
bottom end to any situation.
I'm also the bassist for the legendary rock group Whitesnake.
Most of my gigs are either with them or with the Hip-Hop group Lyrics
Born. You can still find me doing local hits in the Bay Area with various artists, or touring.
Here are some of the names of folks whom I've either played live with, toured
with or recorded with:
Christina Aguilera
- RnB
Alicia Keys - RnB
Toni Tony Tone - RnB
Lyrics Born - Hip-Hop
Ledisi - RnB
Too $hort - Rap
The Coup - Rap/Funk
The Family Stone (yes, THAT Family Stone)- Funk
Latoya London - RnB
Goapele - RnB
Talib Kweli - Rap
Whitesnake - Rock
Eric Martin Band - Rock
Paul Shortino (Duke Fame from Spinal Tap)
Martin Luther - Rock Soul
Shana Morrison - Pop/Rock/Blues
Tony Furtado - Americana/Folk/Rock
Pat Travers/Carmine Appice - Rock
Doppler Inc. - Metal
Flametal - Flamenco/Metal
Latrice Barnett - House
Flipsyde - Rap/Rock
This year, 2008 has been a
great year for me. With Whitesnake I'm touring Japan, New Zealand, Australia, South America,
headlining festivals and shows in Europe, and released
a new CD "Good to be Bad". It's crazy having bands like Journey and Def Leppard OPEN UP for us! We've already seen over 500,000 fans this year alone, and it looks like the tour will stretch into 2009 as well.
We've even been nominated for 3 major awards from Classic Rock Magazine: Band of the Year, Album of the Year, & Event of the Year (for our co-Def Leppard tour). But enough about Whitesnake.
With
Lyrics Born, I've had to put the tours on hold, but we did release an album titled "Everywhere at Once". Both albums are well received and are charting well - HOT CORN!
