producer, filmmaker, and author. He is best known as the founder, lead singer,
bassist, and primary songwriter of the band
Primus since its formation in
1984. Frequently considered to be one of the greatest bassists of all time, his
playing style is well known for mixing tapping, flamenco-like strumming, whammy
bar bends, and slapping.

A veteran of the acclaimed Bonnaroo
Music Festival, Les Claypool puts on a thrilling live show that features
classics from solo albums like "Of Whales and Woe".
