Blake Newman

Bassist, Educator and Kung Fu Master

Bassist and composer Blake Newman was born in New York City and was drawn to music at an early age. As a small child he entertained himself for hours on end by playing piano. Since moving to Boston to study at Berklee College of Music, he has called the Boston area home. Blake has always had a flair for the exotic and his musical tastes have been no exception. He’s had the good fortune of performing on five continents in a multitude of diverse musical settings with some extraordinary musicians. He has performed and/or recorded with Iva Bittova, David Murray, Ran Blake, Big Jack Johnson, Evan Ziporyn, Duke Robillard, John Sinclair, Peter Wolf, KennyWolleson, Butch Morris, Jon Faddis, David Maxwell, and Charles Neville. He has recorded for Rounder, Innova, Accurate, New World, and Audio Quest Records and can be seen performing with his own trio every Wednesday at the Liberty Hotel in Boston, with the Armenian jazz group Musaner, New Orleans groove band the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble, and the Tough Love Trio, among others. He has played locally and toured extensively with the American Repertory Theater. Please visit: http://www.blakenewmanbass.com
