          Interview: Yohannes Tona, Twin Cities’ baddest bass guitarist

          Yohannes Tona has made his way the hard way, nailing down a heavy rep as one of the Twin Cities’ baddest bass guitarists. On a scene that includes monsters like Serge Akou (Joto, Wain McFarlane & Jahz), Justin Blair (The New Congress), and Tommy Peterson (New Primitives), that’s saying a lot.

          In the past few years, Tona has leap-frogged from hustling hired gun to in-demand session player to headliner fronting the Yohannes Tona Band.

          Sand From the Desert, his CD debut, clues you in as to just what kind of chops it takes to make such a meteoric rise. It’s a funk-fusion tour de force, demonstrating range, texture and finesse—not to mention pure fire.
