Daniel Kimbro Bio
Daniel Kimbro, born and raised in Tennesse has worked with many different groups across the U.S. and Canada, Northern Europe/Scandinavia, and Japan. During a tour with the Lovell Sisters Band he met the Grammy award-winning resophonic guitarist Jerry Douglas, and joined his band in 2013. Thanks to Jerry, Kimbro says, “I’ve been fortunate enough to share the stage (or at least sit around and pick) with many of the folks I grew up listening to.”
In March 2017, Kimbro was asked to handle bass duties on the Transatlantic Sessions 2017 US Tour, where he had the honor of subbing for bass great and his personal hero Danny Thompson.
