Fronted by actor/musician
Reeve Carney, the L.A.-based quartet
Carney mixes pop/rock, California psychedelia, and Southern-styled stomp into its own sound.
Reeve Carney was raised in New York City, where he worked as a child actor and honed his skills on the piano and guitar. After relocating to Southern California, he befriended blues guitarist
Jonny Lang and was soon asked to join
Lang's touring band.
Reeve toured with
Lang from 2005 to 2007, playing backup guitar and often serving as the opening act. He also played various dates with his own group, Reeve Carney & the Revolving Band, and eventually formed the succinctly titled
Carney with help from bassist Aiden Moore, drummer
Jon Epcar, and brother
Zane Carney on lead guitar.
Nothing Without You, the band's introductory EP, arrived in May 2008, and the group made its full-length debut two years later with the release of Mr. Green, Vol. 1. In the meantime,
Reeve landed the lead role in Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, a Broadway musical with songs written by U2 members Bono and the Edge. ~ Andrew Leahey
