FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Feist bassist Jay Baird endorses Markbass

Friday, April 18 - (Toronto, Canada) - Jay Baird, bassist for Canadian singer-songwriter sensation Feist, has joined the Markbass family.

“I use the Little Mark II in combination with the Traveler 151P cabinet, which gives me a clear and crisp stage sound,” Jay says.

“The unbelievable light weight and small, compact size of the rig are perfect for all the traveling I do. It’s such a smart little bass amp!”

Jay has enjoyed tremendous international success as a member of Feist’s touring band. The indie-pop chanteuse has sold in excess of a

million copies of her current CD “The Reminder,” earning five Grammy nominations, and recently week, won five Juno awards (Canada’s Grammy). 

The band has appeared on the Grammy Awards, the Juno Awards, Saturday Night Live, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Late Show with

David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Last Call with Carson Daly, as well as BBC and CBC radio.

Many critics, including Amazon.com, called “The Reminder” the top album of 2007.

Jay Baird attended the jazz studies program at the University of Toronto, where he studied under Kirk Macdonald, Alex Dean and

legendary Canadian Performer/Composer Phil Nimmons. In addition to performing with Feist, Jay has worked with DKT/MC5,

Blue Rodeo, GUH, Dinner is Ruined, Woodchoppers Association, Broken Social Scene, Jason Collett, Sook Yin Lee and many others.

Jay is currently on tour with Feist, and will be rocking his Markbass rig all spring, summer and fall across North America and Europe:
