BIO
A bluegass-stringband-americana duo influenced by early country music with an old fashioned style connected to a simpler time yet built for today. Their songs often paint a picture of life’s struggles while using humor as a bridge to hope, bringing joy to smiling faces.
“Your sound is authentic and engaging”
— Vice President, Don Gomes- Entrada Institute
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 24 years combined experience as professional musicians and songwriters. Their instrumentation and style produce an impressively full sound for a duo. Formed in 2021, they have devoted their lives 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 are currently performing across the country at various venues including festivals, concert series, breweries and bars.
