Brad Albetta
Band: Martha Wainwright

A multi-instrumentalist/multi-tasker, top session man and engineer Brad Albetta has produced albums and played keys and bass for singer/songwriters Martha Wainwright, Teddy Thompson, Willie Nile, and Sean Lennon. Not surprisingly, nearly all these artists have recorded at Albetta’s legendary Monkeyboy Studios in Wiliamsburg, Brooklyn, where his eclectic bass skills and acute insight to the recording process refine the delicate intricacies of the folk, jazz and blues artists he works with.
A prime example of Albetta’s bass talents can be heard on Wainwright’s volatile ode to father Loudon, Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole (2004); Albetta’s deft control over tone and unforced restraint provides an ethereal haunt, balancing Wainwright’s anger and earthy sensuality.
