Hub (bassist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leonard "Hub" Hubbard is a former band member of The Roots and played bass for the Philadelphia outfit from 1992 to 2007. He has played on all of their records including 1999's Things Fall Apart and 2004's The Tipping Point. He is known for always having a chew stick in his mouth, on and off the stage. Hub's smooth basslines and distinct style make The Roots stand out in their field of music. Hub studied classical upright bass at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [1]
Rumors have surfaced that Hub has played his last show with The Roots as of 8/31/2007. This was confirmed in a roundabout way by The Roots' webmaster, OKP Dan, editing this Wikipedia entry and choosing to retain the news about Hub's departure. Questlove confirmed these rumors on the Okayplayer home page on 9/10/2007.
