“I’m trying to show the world that a bass player can do many things,” Lee is says in the trailer. “Join me as I travel to the homes of four bass legends and dive deep into their lives, and their inspirations, plus some fun making music … as I try to answer one really important question: Are bass players human, too?”
Check out the teaser above as Geddy steps into the homes and lives of these rock legends, joining them each on extra-musical activities including canning fruit, surfing, fishing, and more.
Geddy adds in a press release, “The idea for this show was born out of interviews I did for my first book, ‘The Big, Beautiful Book of Bass.’ I was struck that these accomplished musicians also lived incredibly interesting, multifaceted lives offstage.”
