Interviews from the ISB 2023 Convention

In June 2023, the DDB team visited the ISB (International Society of Bassists) Convention which took place in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

We were lucky enough to find lots of artists to talk to who about all things bass, including some impromptu corridor performances, interviews and more! The videos are filmed in and around the convention venues and we hope you enjoy this look into just some of the amazing conversations that happen at the ISB. Featuring artists including: Gary Karr, Paul Ellison, Lloyd Goldstein, Sam Suggs, Kristen Korb, Jason Heath, and many more!
