Duane Jarvis

Bio:

Hailing from Portland and California and making a name for himself in Nashville, too, DJ could rightly be called the consummate singer/songwriter. However, that description doesn't include his mastery of guitar, mandolin, bass and other sounds of delight. Whether he's writing a sunset with Lucinda Williams or chiseling a groove with Frank Black, DJ carves out a unique place for himself in the spotlight while showcasing the artists he works with. His own songs are eclectic, a self-described country-soul rock-n-roll. Melodic full-tilt tunes weave through his collections. Pick up the soundtracks for "Horse Whisperer" and "The Rookie" to check out just a few of his contributions to the movies. Duane has a solid fan-base in Europe, too, and "Rolling Stone" in Germany declared "Delicious" a four-star CD. Other collaborations include tenure with The Divinyls, Rosie Flores, Dave Alvin, John Prine, Victoria Williams, Dwight Yoakam, P.F. Sloan and recently sitting in with M. Ward and recording with Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits. Look for DJ's newest CD out soon. ------------------------------------------------------------- Duane passed away on April 1, 2009. The world has lost a wonderful man.
