Kirk Hazel Bass Born and raised in small town Nova Scotia, Kirk took up the bass at the age of twelve and started playing the local circuit by age fifteen. A well rounded player, he has played and recorded with a wide range of local artists, and has covered everything from country, blues, rock and pop to folk and traditional jazz. His influences are equally as diverse and include everyone from Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris to studio legend Chuck Rainey, as well as jazz giants Jaco Pastorius and Stanley Clarke. He is thrilled to be part of the Shaydid team, and would like to thank all the great fans for their continued support.
