In 1990, while living in Austin , Barnes formed a band called Bad Livers with Bass ist Mark Rubin and Violin ist Ralph White. The band's 1994 debut album, ''Delusions of Banjer'', was produced by Paul Leary of the Butthole Surfers , and gained the band some attention in the alt-rock-country scene; they followed it up with three more albums on the Sugar Hill Records label. In 2000 Barnes, now living in the Seattle area, disolved the Bad Livers and founded a new band, Danny Barnes & Thee Old Codgers, with bassist Keith Lowe and violinist Jon Parry. This band released only a single album, 2001's ''Things I Done Wrong'', which was produced by avant-garde jazz composer and pianist Wayne Horvitz (a fellow Seattle resident). 2002 saw Barnes working with jazz Guitar ist Bill Frisell ; Frisell was moving towards incorporating more "American"—country and bluegrass—influences into his playing, and he wanted Barnes to give him lessons in that direction. Their work together led to Barnes playing on Frisell's next album, ''The Willies''; Barnes also toured with Frisell in support of the album. Since moving to Seattle Barnes has also recorded several solo albums, which were self-released, and a duet effort. His 2003 album ''Dirt on the Angel'', released on Terminus Records , featured Frisell, Chuck Leavell , Darol Anger , and Dirk Powell . In 2004 Barnes participated in Wayne Horvitz's Mylab band, and 2005 saw Barnes' second Terminus release, ''Get Myself Together''. Besides his musical skills, Barnes is also "a licensed pilot, skateboarder, motorcyclist, flyfisher, unicyclist, trap shooter, and disc golfer." REFERENCES |
