Banjo player Danny
Barnes leads band
At Eddie’s Attic

The Danny Barnes Band will perform at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur on Friday.
Growing up in Texas, Barnes found early inspiration among his parents’ classic country records and watching banjoist Stringbean perform with Bill Monroe. As a young musician, he staked his claim in the punk scene, determined to take the banjo to places it had never been seen.
The show is set for 8 p.m. Eddie’s Attic is at 515-B N. McDonough St. in Decatur.
