For our Young Earth debut album (due in December 2005) we’ve
been blessed to work with some of the best bass players in
Christian music. Two of them originally come from right here
in the River Valley.

Anthony Sallee (bassist for Michael
W. Smith)
is from right here in Fort Smith. Anthony introduced
Bill Rebsamen to Kirk Gaither 20 years ago. Originally
a member of the late 80’s line up of the band Whiteheart,
Anthony played on four Whiteheart albums
(beginning with
"Powerhouse") and then went on to play the role
of studio bassist in the Nashville circuit. Anthony has
performed on various projects with John
Elefante, Phil
Keaggy, and more. Check out his web site at www.anthonysallee.com. |
