This week Ellen is sitting down to talk bass with another Irish lady of bass, the very cool and super talented Tanya O Callaghan.
Since relocating to LA from her home in Ireland, Tanya has established herself on as a first call session bassist, playing with many legends of rock such as Maynard James Keenan, Nuno Bettencourt and Dee Snider as well as performing on shows such as Riverdance and The Voice.
In this interview Tanya provides a wealth of tips on making it as a professional musician in LA, staying healthy on the road and much more.
