Dennis Feeney is a bassist, songwriter and singer who plays rock, country and jazz. He also teaches bass lessons.

You can hear Dennis on his solo album, "Boots Belts Irons," produced by the legendary Eric Ambel (Steve Earle, the Yayhoos), and The Slow Burn's debut album, "Let's Do It!" He cites jazz guitarist Ron McClure as a huge influence. Feeney recalls how McClure turned him onto the jazz cats, Neil Young and The Who during countless bass lessons. Feeney has continued exploring the principles of composition and theory through classes at the University of Wyoming, Berklee College of Music (Boston) and Swallow Hill Music Association (Denver), and through collaborations with flutist Rod Garnett of the Denver-based Celtic band Colcannon. Currently, Dennis is trying to apply the advice that Joe Pass gave to musicians: "Learn all the rules, forget them and just play."

Dennis has played gigs in the Rocky Mountain region and the East Coast Corridor. His gear consists of a Rickenbacker 4003 bass, purchased for him by his parents in the early 80s, and a custom Precision-style bass crafted by Scott Platts of Stonetree Custom Guitars (Saratoga, Wyo.), all amplified by SWR.
