Bass Bias features the dynamic bass playing duo of Delphina Dorrance on upright bass/lead vocals and Dave Ojeda on electric bass. These two bassists seamlessly blend together elements of conscious indie rock, reggae, folk, blues, and jazz to create a sound all their own. No strangers to the Hawaii music scene, Delphina performs in the Pau Hana Pickers, Kamuela Philharmonic Orchestra, Maui Chamber and Pops Orchestras, and the Blue Dragon Jazz Trio….while Dave performs in Uncle Charlie and formerly with Bottle of Blue. Bass Bias covers a wide variety of artists from Bob Marley to the White Stripes, and also performs original songs penned by Delphina. Joining them will be Warren Nelson on keyboard and Jonathan Brooke on guitar.
