BIO
Banjo Joe and Danielle have a sound that is original but also rooted in that rare old time banjo picking and singing. They revitalize songs from the past and write songs that would fit right in the old time folk tradition. Their performance is a fun one, featuring bluegrass energy and comedic banter. They call the southwest home and travel full time in their bus.
Banjo Joe and Danielle is Joe McCamish on banjo and lead vocals and Danielle Hartline on upright bass and vocal harmonies. They are a touring act with 18 years combined experience as professional musicians, songwriters, and players of mountain music. Their instrumentation and style produce an impressively full sound for a duo. Formed in 2021, the duo has made it their life to travel and make music. After the first year of gigs around their home range in southern Illinois, they converted a school bus into a tour bus and hit the road in late 2023. They spent 2024 and 2025 touring Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah performing at various venues including festivals, breweries and bars.
