ELGIN – Grammy-winning bassist Victor Wooten – best known for his work on bass guitar with Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, Stanley Clarke and Dave Matthews – will make his third appearance at Elgin Community College on Saturday, Oct. 13, with another genre-bending performance spanning the styles of jazz, funk, pop, soul, gospel, world music and more.

The Victor Wooten Band will perform at 7:30 p.m. at the ECC Arts Center’s Blizzard Theatre, located in Building H on the Spartan Drive Campus, 1700 Spartan Drive, Elgin.

Armed with a bass since childhood, Wooten has become a tour de force with his instrument of choice. He’s been named “Bass Player of the Year” three times by Bass Player Magazine (the only person to win more than once) and was voted one of the Top Ten Bassists of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine. Wooten continues to build upon his bass skills as a solo artist, in addition to composing, arranging, producing, writing, teaching and experimenting with other instruments.
