Just thinking of Yohannes Tona's dizzying schedule is exhausting.

Tona, a native of Ethiopia, is known as the Twin Cities' most sought-after bassist – and with good reason.

His outstanding ear for music, combined with his formal training and his love of multiple styles and genres have made Tona one of the busiest (and most likely the busiest) musicians in the area. For Tona, slowing down isn't even an option.

"My friends gave me the nickname 'Top Dollar' but I tell them my bank account isn't top dollar," said Tona, while laughing.

Consider the multiple bands Tona is a part of or with whom he's associated.

There's Sounds of Blackness, Dr. Mambo's Combo (every Sunday and Monday at Bunker's), #MPLS (formerly BoomBox), gospel and R&B group, the Steeles, the Cuban jazz group, the Nachito Herrera Trio and
