I was napping, just to minimize the runny nose and coughing of Covid. When the phone rang, I was expecting it to be Lynn but it wasn’t. “is it true that Calen Uhlig passed? It’s all over Facebook.”, etc. I hadn’t heard but there it was, just as I was told. There was a lot that I loved about Calen, his playing, demeanor, and deep kindness to me. Calen gave me hope that things would pass to a generation of dedicated, talented folks, like him and a few others. Sadly, that future won’t include Calen, but his imprint – on several bands, musicians, and venues – remains. My deepest condolences to his family and to all who knew him. It’s getting too painful to bear much more of this type of news, though here I am, living another day and occasionally thinking, “why am I still at it?” Of course, I don’t know. I can only promise to cherish, appreciate, and be thankful for each day, each moment, each friend, family member, and each song that enters my life. R.I.P. my friend. I’ll try to live up to your expectations.
The echoes of his bass lines will forever remain in our memories, a testament to his enduring impact on music. As we mourn his loss, we also celebrate his life and the beautiful music he created that touched so many hearts.

I’m Heartbroken! I can’t believe I will never see this face again or get a big Bear Hug from my Friend, My Bandmate, My Brother, Calen Uhlig! We just played together Saturday Night. I gave him a hug and we both said, “See You Soon!” Alas…that is not to be…(well, at least in this lifetime) I love you, Brother and I gonna miss the FUCK out of you. Although, I’ve played with Ca in alot of different alliterations, playing with him with the Swirls was my Absolute Favorite Gig with Him. There are no words that will suffice so please accept this as my tribute to one of the Best Bassman and Honest, Hard working and funniest men I’ve known. See you on the other side!
Rest in peace, Calen Uhlig. Your music will continue to inspire and uplift, a lasting legacy of your remarkable talent.
