    Brittany Frompovich is an in demand and highly regarded musician, clinician, multi-instrumentalist, and music educator who currently resides in the Northern Virginia region. Jazz luminary Gerald Veasley introduced her to bassist Jimmy Haslip as “a beautiful player on both electric bass and double bass.” Her band mates describe her playing as “highly creative”, “solid”, and “beautiful”. Her solo performances are unique, poignant, earthy, organic and highly creative.

    As a working bassist, she regularly does shows on double bass, electric bass, and guitar, covering a wide range of genres. She is in demand both as a solo artist and as a "hired gun". She is called on by a wide cross section of NoVa artists to play bass in their projects, which range from blues, rock, Americana, jazz, singer songwriters, and more. She is the first call bassist for many local choral and musical theater production companies. She has shared the stage with Ron Holloway (Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi), Jason Everett (solo artist, Deep Energy Orchestra), Ashleigh Chevalier (solo artist/singer songwriter), Tyler Reese (jazz fusion artist), Toby Fairchild (Keller Williams Band), Bruce Middle (eleven time WAMMIE nominee), Michael Dimin, Stewart McKinsey, Darren Michaels, Aaron Gibson, Edo Castro, Scott Varney, Scott Fernandes, Bill Clements, and Kent Beatty. As a solo bassist and solo artist she has opened for artists like Trip Wamsley and UK solo bassist Steve Lawson.

She has been featured as a clinician at bass community events alongside artists like Bryan Beller, Adam Nitti, David Dyson, Steve Jenkins, Anthony Wellington, Norm Stockton, Donovan Stokes, and Rufus Reid.

As a multi-instrumentalist, she teaches lessons on cello, double bass, electric bass, theory and guitar.

    – Mike Dimin, bassist, educator and author of The Art of Solo Bass and The Chordal Approach

    “No Bull, she’s the real deal. No side job here; as teacher and musician, music is her life! Lady Bass is a true and much needed representative of & for the arts & music professions. Those who know her & benefit from her teaching and friendship are lucky indeed.”
    – Roger Munch, former student and solo artist

The Forum is an organization that hosts events to build bass community and assist bass players in the NoVa/DC/MD areas in improving their craft. Through the Forum, she has had the privilege of hosting major artists such as Stuart Hamm (Joe Satriani, Frank Gambale, solo artist), Bryan Beller (Dethklok, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani), Adam Nitti (solo artist, Kenny Loggins), Michael Dimin (solo artist, author), Kevin Walker (Kayne West, Wilson Picket band), Steve Lawson (solo artist), Trip Wamsley (solo artist), and Dr. Donovan Stokes (solo artist, bass instructor at Shenandoah University Conservatory).
