Jackie Barnes is an Australian musician. He has been performing since the age of five and has appeared on almost a dozen albums since 1990. He is currently the drummer in father Jimmy Barnes' band.
Born in Sydney on 4 February 1986 he was the third child of Barnes and his wife Jane and their first and only son. His half-brother is Jimmy Barnes' oldest child, singer and actor David Campbell. Jackie Barnes was born while his father was touring the U.S. with ZZ Top and named after soul singer Jackie Wilson. Within days of his birth, his mother took he and his sisters to America to join their father on tour.
When he was four, he joined older sisters Mahalia and Eliza-Jane for the recording sessions of their father's Two Fires album. Their voices are among the children's choir that features on the track "When Your Love is Gone".
From the age of five he formed part of the children's singing group the Tin Lids (after Glaswegian rhyming slang for "kids") with sisters Elly-May, Eliza-Jane and Mahalia. The Tin Lids recorded three albums between 1991 and 1994, all of which achieved platinum sales. They were also each nominated for an ARIA Award for Best Children's Album.
Barnes was introduced to the drums by Tony Brock who played in his father's band. He attended The Cranbrook School Sydney from 1996, graduating in 2003. He learned for eight years from Tony Jex where he studied mainly rock, jazz and funk styles. After graduation Barnes started playing in clubs and touring as a percussionist and drummer with artists including sister Mahalia, Nick Hardcastle, Sophie and Kia and Suite Az. In early 2005 he joined the Jimmy Barnes band officially as keyboard player and percussionist and in early 2006 he became the drummer, fulfilling a lifelong dream.
He recorded the song "Same Woman" as a duet with father on the 2005 album Double Happiness that topped the ARIA charts. Since then he has been able to work with artists including his uncles John Swan and Diesel, Jade MacRae, Gary Pinto, Steve Morse, Bob Daisley, Andrew Roachford and Glenn Hughes to name a few. He also did some writing with Morse and Daisley for a new Living Loud album.
He is currently studying a Bachelor of Music majoring in drum performance at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.. At Berklee he has been able to study with the likes of Kenwood Dennard, Eguie Castrillo and Dave DiCenso. He currently studies with Dixie Dregs and Winger drummer Rod Morgenstein.
