About Angeline Saris

Angeline Saris is a master instructor with over 20 years of private instruction experience and an exceptional depth of real-world performance.  She is a bass player, songwriter, and educator whose career highlights include touring with Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Famer Todd Rundgren and guitar virtuoso Adrian Belew on the 2022 Celebration of Bowie Tour, with Grammy Award-winning producer and drummer Narada Michael Walden, jazz-ska-reggae legend Ernest Ranglin, and all-female Zeppelin tribute Zepparella. Most recently, she appeared on Carlos Santana’s new album Sentient, joined JGB’s organist Melvin Seals with the Joe Marcinek Band, and celebrated the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary with Stu Allen for Jerry Day.  In 2024, she joined Jay Lane and the Mayhem (Dead and Co.) for a series of live performances to kick off his new solo project.   In addition to being a first-call touring and session bassist, Angeline also writes, releases, and performs original music with her band, Angeline and the Snack Machine.

Angeline has been featured in several publications, including Bass Player magazine and Guitar Girl magazine, and has appeared on the cover of Bass Musician magazine and Bass Quarterly magazine. 

When not out performing or in the studio recording, Angeline works as an educator and has taught at the prestigious Warwick Bass Camp in Germany, the National Guitar Workshop, as a demonstrator for Hal Leonard educational material, and as a private instructor.

Angeline’s teaching focuses on making learning fun and engaging while also including solid musical theory.  As she likes to point out, the iconic guitar line in “My Girl” is simply a major pentatonic scale — proof that students often learn theory without even realizing it. Drawing on her years of experience and in-depth mastery of the bass, she tailors each lesson to meet each student's individual learning needs.  Angeline welcomes players of all levels and ages — her only requirement is an inspired curiosity and a commitment to regular practice.

Angeline is proudly endorsed by Fender, GHS Strings, MONO cases, West Coast Pedal Boards,  Get’m Get’m Straps, Warwick, and Marleaux Basses. To learn more, please visit her website at www.angelinesaris.com.
