Stefan Bienz
My name is Stefan and I mainly play upright and electric bass, and dabble in acoustic guitar. I started off as a classical guitarist, but was lured to bass by friends in high school who needed me for a Led Zeppelin cover band. It turned out to be a good fit and accidental life changer. Just owning a bass is sometimes like an entrance pass which allows me to join in as a supporting player in a wide variety of groups. I've mainly been a sideman in my music career- always a bridesmaid, never the bride. Years ago I was brought into the wonderful Jam Camp world by longtime friends Celina and Thomas Tumbach and I discovered that I enjoy teaching music, especially to eager people who are just starting. And it's always great fun to meet and play with all the amazing musicians who come out each year - facilitators and campers alike. I feel very lucky.
