By: Barcus-Berry After proudly declaring support and sponsorship of Barcus-Berry, Byron House remarked, "I love the combination of the Barcus-Berry 3150 transducer and 3000A preamp on my upright bass. I've used this system on so many recordings -- it makes a superb complement to the right microphone. It's really punchy and just sounds great! I'm using it on my old Czech flatback in my current live setup as well. This system simply works. It is straightforward, not a lot of frills, just basic and super-functional." What do Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas and Jorma Kaukonen all have in common? They have all at one time or another sought out the services of Byron House, currently one of Nashville’s— At age 17, after 7 years of honing his banjo chops (he also dabbled in guitar, dulcimer, trumpet, bassoon, percussion, piano and other instruments) In the mid-1980s, Byron left his hometown of Bowling Green, Ky., and relocated to Nashville, opening up a new universe of musical possibilities. He was soon working steadily with Foster & Lloyd, and his reputation quickly spread through Music City. In addition to Parton, Harris, Kaukonen and Douglas, Byron has performed or recorded with Buddy and Julie Miller, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Linda Ronstadt, Jim Lauderdale, Dixie Chicks, Nickel Creek, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Shelby Lynne, Al Kooper and Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, to name a few. He was honored with a Grammy nomination in 2005 for his work on Mark O’Connor’s 30-Year Retrospective. In 1999, almost 30 years after that first jam session with Sam Bush, Byron’s musical career came full-circle, when he began playing in Bush’s prolific touring band. December 2009 found Byron in Woodland Recording Studios, where in the early 1980’s he played one of his first recording sessions in Nashville. Byron’s involvement in the Woodland sessions for Robert Plant’s Band Of Joy project (Rounder release date September 14) happened at the invitation of the great Buddy Miller, Robert’s co-producer/ “It is truly a Band Of Joy with an absolute dream-list of talent,” Byron says. “What a fantastic opportunity!
