Joan's Band
Joan has assembled a stellar band and crew for her touring family, and we thought you'd like to know a little bit
about the talented group of people who contribute so much to the success of the tour.
THE BAND
DAVE CARTER (guitar, banjo and vocals)
Son of an evangelist mother and a mathematician father, Dave Carter seemed destined from an early age to be an outsider's outsider. Raised in Oklahoma and Texas, weaned on equal parts mysticism and logic, the family's trips back and forth across the Red River paralleled Dave's forays into the dual realms of fantasy and rational philosophy. Though he excelled in academics and his study of classical piano (which began at age 4), in his heart Dave would ride the limitless plains of a hundred years past, alongside his distant relative Quanah Parker, the great Comanche chief. Dave grew up caring for horses, building fences, and wondering about the wide world outside the towns he had known all his life. the simple daydreams of his childhood gradually developed into detailed stories, and at age 17 he left home in search of some beautiful things he could never quite name. In the long and arduous course of his wanderings, his boyhood dreams began to fray and unravel around the edges, coiling themselves together with the barbed-wire facts of everyday life on the road. So were born the songs Dave continues to play and write today - musical tales which weave together seamlessly the savage bite of cold, a wind down the hungry highway, the darkest longings of the hard-bittenheart, and the profoundest innocence, faith and virtue.
TRACY GRAMMER (mandolin, violin, guitar and vocals)
Tracy Grammer's first show with Dave Carter was in September 1996 at Portland's Clinton Street Theater, where Dave participated in a Songwriters Summit with Buddy Mondlock, Carol Elliott and Deb Levoy. The addition of Tracy's tight harmonies, understated, soulful violin and mandolin instrumentals and solid rhythm guitar playing made the duo an instant hit. Since then, Tracy has accompanied Dave to showcases and festivals throughout the U.S. Tasteful, sparse, strong yet subtle - this description holds as true for her performance as it does for Tracy herself. she is a versatile and sensitive artist, adding just the right color and texture to Dave Carter's brilliant songwork. Playing a violin crafted in the late 1770s by the Eberle family, Tracy gets a dense, warm tone from her instrument that helps set the Dave and Tracy sound apart.
BYRON ISAACS (electric and acoustic bass)
Byron was born into an acting family in Houston, Texas. As a teenager he was moved to pick up the bass after hearing a Charles Mingus recording. By then Byron and his mother were living in Bloomington, Indiana, where he went on to study at the Indiana University School of Music, honing skills with Bruce Bransby and David Baker. Byron moved to New York City in 1994 and has been taking advantage of the city's diverse musical palette ever since. He most recently toured Europe with Elysian Fields and the eastern U.S. with Mary Fahl, and his most recent recordings include albums with Lee Feldman and Django Haskins.
GEORGE JAVORI (drums and percussion)
George Javori, a third-generation drummer (beginning with Grandmother Jaroka), was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1972, and he began playing shortly thereafter. George lived in Hungary until the age of 14, at which time he moved to New York. His introduction to the New York music scene began with jazz jam sessions. At 17, he began performing regularly with local New York bands. George is known for his musical approach to the drum kit which includes the use of various found objects as tools for making music on the drums. Over the past 10 years he has played with such diverse artists as Katell Keineg, Elysian Fields, Firewater, Shivaree, and Natalie Merchant, among others. His own musical investigation focuses on improvisation.
RICHARD SHINDELL (guitar and vocals)
An expatriate New Yorker now living in Argentina, Richard Shindell is a meticulous craftsman of song. Laboring far from the spotlight, every few years he releases a new recording. Each disc is received almost reverently within the circle of contemporary acoustic music - but he remains largely unknown in the wider world. Ann Powers of the New York Times went to a Richard Shindell concert - leery of the acclaim surrounding his work - and walked away a believer. She likens Shindell's work to the austere beauty of Shaker furniture and his live performance and writing to the best of Bruce Springsteen and Lucinda Williams. Richard is a quietly stunning guitarist and arranger. And as a songwriter, he is in a class by himself, writing beautiful, streamlined astonishments with unique perspectives and gorgeous melodies. Richard's latest release is Courier, which captures Richard and his band at their live best in 2001.
