Davey Faragher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Davey Faragher has been the bassist for Elvis Costello's backing band the Imposters since 2001. He also plays club gigs in his home town of Los Angeles with fellow Imposter Pete Thomas and guitarist Val McCallum under the band name Jack Shit.
Prior to his association with Costello, Faragher was probably best known as a member of the band Cracker in the early 1990s. Faragher shared a writing credit on the band's 1993 hit "Low."
In the mid- to late-1970s, Faragher recorded three albums with his brothers Danny, Jimmy, and Tommy as The Faragher Brothers. The band was renamed The Faraghers for a fourth album, featuring fifth brother Marty and sister Pammy.
Faragher has worked much of his career as a session musician, recording with such notables as Peter Criss, Dusty Springfield, The Monkees (on their 1986 reunion album Pool It!), David Crosby, Olivia Newton-John, John Hiatt, Sheryl Crow, Susanna Hoffs, Vonda Shepard, Joan Osborne, John Phillips, Bonnie Raitt, Allen Toussaint, Elvis Costello, and Buddy Guy. He is thanked on the liner-notes for Counting Crows' hit single "Hanginaround" on This Desert Life (produced by former Cracker bandmate David Lowery).
