Desiree Bassett

	An interview with Desiree' Apolonio Bassett You certainly got my attention by the picture I saw of you with Chris Hicks, and also knowing that you’ve jammed with members of Dickey Betts’ band and members of The Allman Brothers. In the truest sense though, you wouldn’t consider yourself purely a “southern rock” guitarist, would you?...
	Desiree Bassett performs The music never stops for Desiree. She enjoys teaching guitar on Sundays to local kids, takes vocal lessons during the week, private guitar lessons with a former Dickey Betts Band member and plays out live when ever she can. Desiree loves doing what she does; performing and entertaining. She has a very strong desire to share her gift with the world...
	Young guitarist plays with 'power and force' In many ways, Desiree Apolonio Bassett is a typical 17 year old. The Ashford teen enjoys spending time with friends, dirt biking in the warmer, drier weather and will be graduating from Edwin O. Smith High School in Storrs in June. But that’s where it ends...
	Age ain’t nothing but a number for rocker If you read Desiree Apolonio Bassett’s list of influences, you would guess that she was a woman who was at least in her 30s. After all, her list is filled with guitarists like 1960s guitar gods Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, Rik Emmett of the 1970s power trio Triumph, and 1980s shredder Joe Satriani (now a member of the supergroup Chickenfoot)...
	Interview with Guitar Prodigy Desiree Bassett Desiree Bassett’s accomplishments place her in a select group of modern guitarists. She’s performed with Sammy Hagar, the Marshall Tucker Band, with members of the Allman Brothers Band and at the 2006 and 2007 NAMM shows with rock band Living Color. She was named Talent America’s “Best Musician” in 2005, has recorded two albums as a bandleader, played countless gigs on both coasts and is sponsored by Peavey, Schecter Guitar Research and Taylor Guitars, among others. While this may sound impressive enough as it is, what makes these accomplishments even more remarkable is that she just recently celebrated her seventeenth birthday...

	Jammin' by Sarah Wesley-Lemire Think for a moment some of music's greatest guitar heroes. There's Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Van Halen - and Desiree Bassett. OK, you probably haven't heard of her just yet, but give it time. This 16-year old with an infectious smile and mad guitar skills is undoubtedly on her way to leaving her mark on the music world...
	Desiree Bassett By Deirdre H. Jones At an open mic in Hartford, Connecticut, guitarist Desiree Bassett caught the attention of bassist Doug Wimbish, who was in town throwing his annual gathering of funk and rock legends, the Wimbash. Wimbish was so impressed that he asked the then 12-year-old to sit in at the event the following day. Two years later, at just 14, Basset has won several awards, played the second stage at Ozzfest, and earned endorsements with Schecter and Peavey. Recently, Bassett cut demo tracks with Wimbish producing, and with Vernon Reid and Will Calhoun as support...
	15 Year Old Desiree Bassett - Guest Shreds with Sammy Hagar & Living Colour When she was two, New Haven-born Desiree Bassett’s hero was country star Reba McEntire, whose songs she was already singing. At three, Desiree began playing a mini-guitar, moving on to her dad’s full-scale model at five.
	A guitar chic called Desiree In rock bands, it is often a man holding a guitar and just wailing away. But if you see a pretty girl wielding an axe, chances are you’ll give her a second look. Well, guys, here’s a rising guitar chic, which has been making the rounds – and we mean that literally. Having jammed with the likes of Sammy Hagar, Living Colour, Kal David, Andy Aledort and Allman brothers, Desiree Bassett, 15, is surely a hot chic who makes the guitar look sexier.
	I Am…A Rocker Desiree Bassett, 15, lives in Ashford and is a sophomore at E.O. Smith High School.

	Daisy Rock Guitars at Winter NAMM 2007 (February 28, 2007) I love NAMM! It is one of the most energizing weeks of the year. Every January, Daisy Rock is completely submerged with all sorts of things that come with the NAMM show, from merchandising a booth - which is a lot like setting up an entire store, only to tear it down a few days later - to high profile speaking engagements, to board meetings, to new product design ideas, to live on-camera interviews, to artist appearances and events, to… well, to tell the truth, the week of NAMM is completely crazy, but also really invigorating.
