Banjo picker Barry Crabtree is working now with the James King Band.
After memorable stints with Larry Sparks and Wildfire, Barry took a few years away from playing music, though he did some shows with Harley Allen around Nashville, and filled in with a number of different bands.
But you can’t keep the road warrior home for long. Barry said that the chance to work with King was a perfect fit.
“I’ve not been on the road or been in a full time band for about four years, so I’ve been missing playing and seeing all my friends. James is and has been a good friend of mine for many years, and I am looking forward to working with him.
Anytime you can do what you enjoy for a living you are very blessed.”
He joins John Marquess on bass, Dorse Sears on mandolin, and Merl Johnson on fiddle behind James on guitar and vocals.
