Steeler for Janie Fricke?

Post by randy barnes »

I’m wondering if Janie has steel in her tour band? Thanks

Sonny Morris normally tours with Janie. I’m not sure if he’ll be on this leg of the tour. He’s a great musician and great guy.

Janie was in Sisseton, South Dakota, last night. She introduced her steel player as "Danny from Texas."

Formerly with Gene Watson? I wondered if it might be. His horn playing brought "The old man and his horn" to life when Gene sang the song.

She introduced the five musicians by first name and "from Texas."

Danny is a MONSTER steel guitar player. Pretty darn good on the sax too. Love his playing on both.

Thank you. I’ve worked with her on and off since the late 90’s. When I got off the road with Watson she called and said they’re not doing near as many dates as Gene which sounded fine for what I was wanting. Sonny Morris IS in the band also, on lead. He is a great steel player as well!!!
Thank you for the nice convents…
