About
Five time Grammy Award winner Victor Wooten has been heralded as "the Michael Jordan of the bass" and "one of the most fearless musicians on the planet." His talent has led to invitations to record and perform with such luminaries as Bootsy Collins, Branford Marsalis, Keb Mo, Chic Corea, The Dave Matthews Band and the legendary Moroccan group Nass El Ghiwane, to name just a few. He is also a founding member of the super-group Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.
Gerrard Allman Presents is proud to announce the return of Victor Wooten to Australia for a run of headline shows in May and June 2023. In an Australian first, Victor will be performing with his band of (literal) brothers – The Wooten Brothers. Joseph (keys / vocals), Roy (percussion/vocals) and Regi (guitar/vocals).
For over four decades The Wooten Brothers have been recognised as some of the most innovative musicians in existence and are collectively known as one of the most talented and dynamic band of brothers the world has ever known. Since they were young, the five brothers (Rudy – a saxophonist, sadly passed away in 2010) have been a musical tour-de-force redefining the limits of jazz, funk, soul, R&B, rock and bluegrass. Sons of military parents, the boys early years were spent living in Hawaii, California and Virginia – where they shared the stages with the likes of Curtis Mayfield, The Temptations, and many others. In the mid-1980s, the brothers released an album as The Wootens for Clive Davis’ Arista Records.
Kicking off with 2 shows at Melbourne’s Memo Music Hall on Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 May, the tour also takes in Adelaide’s The Gov on May 26, Freo Social Club in WA on May 27, Sydney’s Manning Bar on May 30 and Lizotte’s Newcastle on May 31 before finishing up at Brisbane’s Princess Theatre on June 1. Tickets to all shows are on sale now. Don’t miss.

by Clockwork on 8/30/22Sony Hall - New YorkA brilliant polished performance. Interesting and amusing interchange between the musicians. Fantastic venue, great sound
Rating: 5 out of 5 Fantastic
by Gadgetman000 on 5/26/22Birchmere - AlexandriaI am fortunate enough to have been able to see Victor Wooten years ago at Tower Records in Nashville when he was promoting his Soul Circus album, so when I saw that he was going to be at the Birchmere with Bailey & Bissonette just a month after newly moving to Arlington, it was a no brainer. I got to the Birchmere about two hours before the show and was already too late to get a great seat, but found a really good seat at a table next to another Bass Enthusiast. The show was incredible! Bass Extremes puts on a GREAT show! Bissonette’s Fretless 6 string, Wooten’s incredible skills on the Fodera along with Bailey on the drums, was an incredible experience! Lights, some fog, and some incredibly talented musicians… Even though I’ve got the albums, experiencing them live made my year! Not to mention the stories and history that really connect these guys to the crowd - made it a very personal experience as well. Good food, surrounded by music other enthusiasts, listening to some great low frequencies… who could ask for anything more!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Fantastic musicianship - sound, just ok
by Mike on 5/17/22The Cabot - BeverlyThese guys put on a fantastic show and lived up to all my expectations. Unfortunately, the audio quality suffered. The first 15 minutes or so was distracting because of low frequency feedback and generally poor intelligibility. It got better as the show progressed, but it sounded like they never got a proper soundcheck.

by Tootie on 5/16/22The Cabot - BeverlyThree exceptional musicians performed a riveting night of solo and trio orchestrations. The crowd was wowed by the history of their vast musical knowledge. A ticket to witness greatness in history!
Rating: 5 out of 5 An amazing amount of talent on one stage!!
by Michele Gear-Cole on 5/16/22The Cabot - BeverlyBass Extremes was incredible! Such musicianship on one stage blows the mind! They are also nice guys! Loved Zoe Sparks as well! We brought our other band members with us, one of which have never seen these guys, and when sitting next to my drummer and Victor was playing solo, I heard him say, "What is happening?". Any show that any of these musicians are in, you can count on a spectacular show! Thank you Victor, Steve, Greg and Zoe! We got waaaaaay more than our money's worth! The only bad thing I have to say is about the Cabot balcony. The seats are way too small. My husband is 6ft tall and his legs were practically up to his chest. I felt the seats were even small for me, and I am small.
