Interview With Upcoming Bassist Cara Richard

ByEditor, Raul Amador June 9, 2025June 1, 2025

I always love meeting young bass players, as they represent the future of our beloved instrument.

Recently, we heard from Cara Richard, a dedicated bassist who has been playing for nearly two years. In that time, she’s been diligently learning a wide range of songs and sharing her progress on social media. As she embarks on what I hope will be a long and rewarding musical journey, I thought it would be great to hear directly from her.

Join me as we explore Cara’s development on the bass, her learning process, how she crafts her tone, and her aspirations for the future.

Meet Cara Richard.
