Summary: Amanda Rice-Johnston and I finally met in person after over a decade of being online friends. She has a vibrant career as a double bass performer and a down to earth perspective on what a life in music is really like. We cover a wide array of topics, from her path through the music world to how she balances working in a cheese shop with a performing career. It was a pleasure to connect with her at the 2019 International Society of Bassists Convention!
