Chris Becker

Chris Becker – Bass

 

Chris was born and raised in upstate New York.  Chris was drawn to the bottom end through his deep love for groove-based music. His influences range from Weather Report and The Meters, to bands like 311 and Sublime, and just about everything in between. Playing bass is a spiritual thing for Chris. For him, it's all about finding his "happy place" in the groove and bringing everyone in ear shot along for the ride. This guy will have you shaking your booty!

You can’t help but tap your foot or get up and cut a rug when Dave starts popping that funky beat.
