Aram Bedrosian

Aram Bedrosian is a soloist, ensemble player, composer and teacher from Burlington, Vermont. He was born on May 3, 1977. Aram began playing saxophone in school at age 11 and picked up the bass guitar at age 13. After playing in several local progressive, rock, funk and jam groups and winning a state-wide stringed-instrument competition, he attended The University of Vermont where he studied classical and jazz music. After several years of touring and recording as a first-call freelance bassist in the Northeastern U.S., he released his self-titled solo debut album which received international acclaim. This album is 32-minute collection of solo pieces ranging stylistically and recorded entirely with one bass alone with no layering of multiple parts.
He is also a professional instructor and has had dozens of students in Vermont and around the world via webcam.
He has shared the stage with Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon and Jennifer Hartswick as well as members of Phil Lesh and Friends, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, John Brown's Body, Giant Country Horns and RAQ.
Acclaimed luthier Jens Ritter of Ritter Bass Guitars developed and created a special signature bass named The Supernova for Aram, which he received in early 2009.
