Also known as Michael Silverman, That 1 Guy is a Berkeley, Calif.-based, classically trained string bassist. After performing with some of the nation's top progressive jazz ensembles throughout the 1990s, Silverman created an instrument out of wire and iron pipes that could serve his ever-expanding musical techniques. Think "gutbucket" bass with a lot more firepower. The result is an astonishing solo act. That 1 Guy's influences include Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, Dr. Seuss, Rube Goldberg and Stanley Kubrick.

Recorded March 3, 2009.

The 30 Minute Music Hour is about artists and the music they make.

Transcending genres, the 30mmh encourages honky-tonk bar bands to rub elbows with hip hop performers, singer/ songwriter folk and anyone who creates innovative, educated music.

  • @MrJaredEdge You're ignorant, because Primus had a running gag back in the day and would say themselves "Primus Sucks!" to start a chant. Primus invented saying "Primus Sucks," and that's why the fellow bellow had a wink-face ( ;) ), because he actually IS a Primus fan and he knows this!

  • woah.....I'm speechless....

  • 7:30 good to hear music with sole.

  • playing the electric shoe... you dont see that everyday.

  • I met him at Electric Forest last weekend. One of the nicest and most talented people I've met to date...super-inspiring!

  • He's playing this music with his whole body.

  • He's probably the most creative and innovative musicians since Les Claypool in my opinion. I really dig his magic hat too...still curious as to how that works.
