Profile Information
- About Me:
- With the release of his newest self produced CD "Bluesman USA" (2009), "Further Up That Road" (2008), and "Panhandle Blues" (2007), Darren J has steadily earned the respect of his peers in the blues community throughout the world. He has attained much interest from the press, radio stations and established to rising artists in the United States. He has shared the stage with such notables has Alligator Recording Artist Kenny Neal and Delta Blues Musician Lonnie Shields. In 2008 he competed in the 24th International Blues Challenge on Beale St. in Memphis Tennessee, as the representatives of the Blues Society of N. W. Florida. In 2009 he made recording contributions on Stacy Brooks studio album produced by Kenny Neal and Stackhouse Recording artist Memphis Gold. You can say Darren J. has been carving out a nice resume for himself since 2006.
Darren J joined the U.S. Navy in 1996 taking a short break from the music scene in Miami from where he started to play in bands at an early age as a guitarist and a songwriter. It was not until 2005 at the age of 28, an age when other musicians were either already established or had long ago put their dream aside for the realities of life, did Darren finally decide to leave the military to pursue his musical dreams.
He formed the Darren J Trio in 2006. Home based in Pensacola Florida, the group was best described as a hard working traveling band that played all through Northwest Florida averaging more than 150 shows a year. The band's live shows, highly praised from fans, the Pensacola News Journal and local radio stations for their memorable performances, consisted of traditional and contemporary and original high energy electric blues. In late 2008 he moved to Washington D.C. and joined forces with up and coming artist Stacy Brooks as her guitar player.
