SXSW 2012

P. Kellach Waddle enjoys a widely lauded career as a solo bassist, composer, chamber musician, orchestra musician, conductor, and concert director. His music has been performed over 700 times in nearly 40 states and in 10 foreign countries. With over 40 premieres scheduled for the calendar year 2011 alone (ranging from solo works to chamber works to pieces for full orchestra and now over 370 works composed as of Fall 2011), Waddle continues to maintain his position as one of the most prolific and performed composers of his generation. He has been called “… an amazing, incredible virtuoso…” by famed Austin radio personality John Aielli; and after his ovation-garnering solo concert at the 2009 International Society of Bassists Symposium, convention officials declared “… (Waddle) is now obviously one of the great solo bassists of the world.”
