Banjo player extraordinaire and 2015 recipient of the 6th annual Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass, Danny Barnes is described as "one of a kind" and widely acknowledged as "one of the best banjo players in America." Barnes is recognized for his experimental sound. The raw and unpolished musical breadth of his compositions has propelled him across the industry today. Barnes released a new solo record Got Myself Together (Ten Years Later) on Austin, TX based Eight 30 Records on November 27, 2015. Barnes' first collection in six years showcases a singular songwriter and player in peak form reworking his classic album Get Myself Together [2005] (“Big Girl Blues,” “Get Me Out of Jail”) a decade on.

A founding member of the Bad Livers, Danny is a frequent collaborator with talents such as Bill Frisell, Robert Earl Keen, Jeff Austin and more.

Tonight, Danny is joined by Grant Gordy (David Grisman Quintet) and Joe K. Walsh (Gibson Brothers).
