Glenn Tapia first began on the bass in high school after stumbling on the instrument at the recommendation of his band teacher for a single gig. After several college years of attempting rock stardom with an electric guitar, Glenn realized that his true musical place was in the low end - at the bottom of the groove. Glenn is inspired by pocket players like George Porter, Jr, Chuck Rainey, Bootsie Collins, and James Jamerson. Glenn has also derived inspiration from many of the local bass players featured at the bass slam in '08 as well. Glenn has also grown a strong appreciation for the new generation of bassists like Adam Nitti, Oteill Burbridge and the like.
