Danni Carr and her band are a formidable talent in the new wave of vibrant roots music crossing into a dangerous, dirty, ambient and exciting side of this genre. Their debut album 47 Miles takes you on a journey from the gutsy Knock Your Head, to the scenic wistful landscape of Old Man and the rhythmic swagger of Teach Him Right, 47 Miles is a stunning debut album.
Danni is no stranger to recording or indeed the live circuit. As founding member of Sweet Painted Ladies she has recorded several albums and toured Australia and the USA. Both on record and live Danni has carved a reputation as a dynamic and accomplished artist. She plays a mean harmonica, wild guitar and has a voice that takes you to the intended places of her songs.
47 Miles is the result of Dannis successful collaboration with Michael Tricarico, which allows her to explore her love of a more bluesy and swampy sound.
"The songs mainly come from Michael and I sitting down together and jamming along with each other... Michael is really into his Metallica and darker /heavier style of music, where I am into folky/bluesy stuff so we kind of came up with a blend of the two styles which we think is pretty unique," says Danni.
47 Miles features the talents of Danni Carr - Vox, Guitar, Harmonica, Percussion, Michael Tricarico - Guitar, Keyboard Effects, Lisa Candy - Backing Vox, Ash Grunwald - Lap Steel, Guitar Effects, Guitar, Mia Dyson - Vocals on Track 9.
Jimmy Slattery Drums, Ben Wicks Double and electric Bass, Trevor Lettman - Bass on the Kid, Jason Bryant - Drums on the Kid, Andrea Lane - Backing Vox on the kid and Dave Davis - Additional Keyboard sounds.
Dannis debut solo EP Preview marked a turning point in Dannis career. Which has continued to evolve into what is 47 Miles. It is a further development of roots based acoustic tunes driven along by a strong rhythm section, featuring her trademark catchy song writing and warm deep vocals.
47 Miles will be in shops nationally in November 2005 on Belmore Records distributed through Only Blues Music. For full tour details visit www.dannicarr.com
