Nick Jost, based in New York City, is best known as the bassist and multi-instrumentalist for the acclaimed band Baroness, which he joined in early 2013 alongside drummer Sebastian Thomson. His first rehearsal with the group took place on March 24, 2013.

Originally from a jazz background, Jost brought a refined, melodic sensibility to the heavy and progressive textures of Baroness. Over the years, he's contributed significantly to albums like Purple (2015), Gold & Grey (2019), and most recently Stone (2023) - a release he described as a fresh artistic direction for the band, embracing its evolving lineup and sonic ambitions.

In interviews, Jost emphasizes the band's commitment to artistic growth, saying "Every record is a new beginning... Stone is the perfect title," signaling a pivotal evolution in their music and identity. He's deeply invested in the continued relevance of indie record stores and physical media as vital cultural touchpoints, calling the relationship between bands and independent sellers "crucial".

On tour and in studio, Jost is known for his solid fingerstyle playing (occasionally using a pick by dare) and a bass rig built around Fender Precision and Jazz Basses powered through a Gallien-Krueger head and Ampeg cabinet setup. His rig also includes pedals like Xotic Bass BB Preamp, MXR Chorus, Tech 21 SansAmp, and others that shape his deep, dynamic tone Premier Guitar.

"Danny Sher is one of New York City's most sought after session musicians. As a master of jazz and rock drumming, his abilities are organic and pliable, making him the perfect beat maker for live and recorded music alike."
