#VanConner, bassist, #ScreamingTrees
Screaming Trees was a unique voice in the Pacific Northwest "grunge" scene. Their sound was more psychedelic, garage-rock, and '70s hard rock influenced which made them stand out amongst their peers.

nudedragons shared a post on Instagram: "Van Conner (3/17/67- 1/17/23) bassist, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and founder: Screaming Trees, Solomon Grundy, Gardener, VALIS I’m thinking of Van back in the days of the Lollapalooza tour we did and how he always gave me that feeling of being amidst family and of an unspoken understanding about life, and … when spoken, with an ease that seemed to make it cool, or outrageously right, like you aren’t the fool the outside world tries to make you out to be. He was extremely relatable and maybe thats why he seemed to be a friend to all … i wish i had learned more from him. While working on a record once, i had the pleasure to hear Van’s raw bass tracks he had put down previously - talk about tone city and vibe! Man, even in one note he made the songs have depth and soul and a binding factor that any architect would envy. You could literally hear the respect, consideration and intelligence in every note, there again was that unspoken knowledge, that reveal of natural cool. He blew me away and i have known ever since that session that he had a mastery and accompanied that with a kind friendly smile and ferociously loyal attitude of appreciating life in a perfectly intelligent and smartass way. I don’t have enough knowledge or the words to help his family and close friends feel better about their loss, all of our loss, but we were all lucky to have had Van as a friend and cohort in life. Peace be with you Van Ben". Follow their account to see 240 posts.
One of Van's solo tunes that I especially love. He wrote it with his then-teenage daughter. Jack Endino on drums.

I’ve just seen the news of Van Conner’s death; he was only 55. If you don’t know him, he was the bassist in the Screaming Trees and partly responsible for breathtaking songs like this: https://youtu.be/1ZzOATcJumo
