About me:

Bryn Davies is a multi-instrumentalist originally from Livermore, Ca. Her mother (mathematician/flutist) and father (chemist/vocalist) started her on piano at the age of three. She moved through lots of instruments; flute, violin, french horn, eventually settling on the cello and upright bass. She attended Berklee College of Music on a scholarship where she majored in Jazz Performance. After meeting a bunch of bluegrassers in college, she left after three years to play in the Two High String Band. It was while she was living in Austin and playing with them that she met Peter Rowan. She started playing with Peter in the fall of '98, then Tony Rice joined up in '99 to form the Peter Rowan & Tony Rice Quartet. Years later, she moved away from the beautiful Texas hill country to Nashville, where she currently lives. Bryn has proven herself as one of the most in demand bassists in music city. She has an extensive discography, playing on records with legends such as Guy Clark, The Peter Rowan & Tony Rice Quartet, Old and In The Gray, and Don Edwards. Bryn has toured with such luminaries as Patty Griffin, Marty Stuart, The Tony Rice Unit, Darrell Scott, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Jim Lauderdale and Shawn Camp (just to name a few). Along with her many studio and side projects, Bryn currently tours with rising star Justin Townes Earle.
