There is one unifying attribute that plays into the cohesion and intimacy of Carney: history. After moving from New York to Los Angeles, the Carney brothers met Jon in elementary school where they began playing together. In high school JD joined them as they dove deeply into music education at one of the most prestigious music schools in Los Angeles. When private lessons became too expensive, they joined in at old blues clubs around town. From these venerable clubs to Cal Arts, USC and Boston University, they have built their talent and rapport. Becoming musicians was not a choice; it was a calling.

Though inspired by blues, folk and old school pop, Carney more closely identifies with the full-blown passion and mystery of rock and roll. They find great inspiration in the timeless genius of Led Zeppelin. The songs also have elements of playfulness reminiscent of The Kinks, and the intensity of Jimi Hendrix. They combine powerful instrumental movements with a lilting voice that competes for fans of Radiohead.

Carney began with a residency at LA’s favorite Irish pub, Molly Malone’s, and sold out shows month after month. Fueled by word of mouth popularity, they graduated from that residency to selling out the Troubadour. This buzz led to the courting of Carney by Interscope Records, and Manager David Sonenberg of DAS Communications (John Legend, Fugees, and Black Eyed Peas). Carney is being groomed by some of the biggest names in the industry to explode onto the national stage.

Collectively the band members have worked with Jonny Lang, A Fine Frenzy, and have opened for acts such as Fergie and Live. They’ve played at festivals such as SXSW, Bonnaroo, and Beale Street. Carney’s music has appeared on screen including both “Crossing Jordan” and “One Tree Hill.” Members of Carney have performed live on numerous television shows. They have toured extensively, spanning continents from South America, to Europe, and Southeast Asia. Their breadth of experience allows them to mine the spectrum of music, engaging listeners with surprisingly diverse musical taste.

Carney’s songs seem to propel themselves forward from the beginning and blossom in the middle with a power beyond the persons on stage. It is at once powerful and ethereal, driving home the inner feeling that there is more below the surface, a mystery that haunts you, and pulls you back again and again.

(trust me, the band is hot.)
