Dave Barnes
To see the world through the eyes of Dave Barnes, first look out his bedroom window.
Not the one in his current place in Nashville, where he has built his base as an outstanding young songwriter and performer whose renown reaches greater national dimension with release of his latest album, What We Want, What We Get.
No, we’re going back to Kosciusko, Mississippi, where the pieces that would complete the picture of this singular artist started to come together. In this small town, opening as a landscape of homes within easy reach of Barnes’ front door, friendships formed easily across demographic lines – a simple fact of life that would nonetheless guide his growth, individually and artistically, as a songwriter, performer and even occasional standup comedian, sharing his insights either through lyrics and melody or humorous reflections on life’s absurdities.
