BIO

Davey appears on all episodes of SPECTACLE: ELVIS COSTELLO WITH... as a member of Elvis' trio, The Imposters.

Prior to his association with Costello, Faragher was probably best known as a founding member of the band Cracker in the early 1990s. Faragher shared a writing credit on the band's 1993 hit "Low" among others and was given the cover feature story of BAM Magazine in July, 1992. After his departure he became bass player in John Hiatt's band from the mid to late '90s.

Faragher has worked much of his career as a session musician, recording with such notables as The Monkees (on their 1986 reunion album Pool It!), David Crosby, John Phillips, Wanda Jackson, Dusty Springfield, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Susanna Hoffs, Vonda Shepard, Joan Osborne, Shivaree, Guster, The Finn Brothers, Camper Van Beethoven, Chantal Kreviazuk, Allen Toussaint, Buddy Guy, Willy DeVille and The Ditty Bops. He is thanked on the liner-notes for Counting Crows' hit single "Hanginaround" on This Desert Life (produced by former Cracker bandmate David Lowery). He also plays club gigs where he currently resides in Los Angeles with fellow Imposter Pete Thomas and guitarist Val McCallum.
