‘Love is the most mystical thing of all.’ - Oteil Burbridge

Two-time Grammy-winning bassist Oteil Burbridge lives up to the literal translation of his name—as a true ‘explorer’ of all things music. Aside from sharing the stage with blues, jazz and rock legends like Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Buddy Guy, and many more, he has also won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as the longest-running bassist of the rock group The Allman Brothers Band. In this episode, he talks about his family, touring with the band, a special connection to India, and finding spirituality through the simplest practices—mentorship and love. He also gives a sneak peek into his musical ventures with Dead & Company while taking us through what it’s like teaching music with the Oteil Method and his music education app, the Ozone.
