Myron Barnett Band

The Myron Barnett Band is a full on, "take no prisoners" blues band. The band plays the blues "straight up and uncut". After playing rock, country, bluegrass, and a little jazz, one thing that I always come back to is the blues. I love all music but I choose to play the blues - it just does it for me. It is so powerful to me - where else could you have a basic format and groove and if it is done right, grabs you so hard you can't help but move. You can have one man howlin' late at nite singing with all his soul or with a guitar or harp or a whole band that plays the blues. I started playing guitar at a young age but didn't really get serious until I was 15 or 16. All the blues cats I'd hear when I was young always stopped me in my tracks. I would hear them playing always on the train going back to Texas and then back to California. I was born in L. A. but my family is from Texas and we'd live in Texas for awhile, come back to California, back and forth until my 2nd year in high school when I just stayed here in California. I found out back then that there are some great blues players you will never hear because they played to whoever was around them, and to them, that was it. My influences are everybody and anybody. It doesn't make any difference what instrument you play. If you're smokin' with it, I'm grooving to it. The band is a very hard working band. We give all we have everytime at every show! I thought for awhile maybe I'd work as a studio musician but now I have them working for me - kind of funny how things work out. Except for the "Classics", all the music is original.
