It is best known as the band in which Robin Lynn Macy performed while simultaneously founding the all-female group the Dixie Chicks in 1989.[1][2] The band was founded by Drew Garrett (bass) and Andy Owens (mandolin) in mid 1985. Both musicians were established bluegrass musicians. The original group also included Robin Macy on guitar and vocals. James McKinney joined the group early in 1986 on banjo. Stephan Dudash (5-string viola) was a late addition. As a five-piece, the band won first place at several regional competitions and placed fourth in the national SPBGMA band contest in Nashville.[3] Danger in the Air released two cassettes: a self-titled recording and Airtight. In 1990, the band dissolved, due in part to Macy's commitments to the fledgling band, The Dixie Chicks. James McKinney moved to Nashville where he continued to perform using the band's name. After dropping the name in 2003, he and his wife performed as the James & Angela McKinney Band. Angela McKinney has since pursued a solo career.[4] Garrett eventually moved to Colorado where he worked as a sound engineer and producer.[5] He currently plays the bass for the bluegrass quartet Blue Canyon Boys.[6] Owens remains active in bluegrass circles. He introduced Macy to the Erwin sisters and recorded their three-track demo. His Andy Owens Project released several CDs.[7] He recorded and toured with Druha Trava in 2007.[8] Dudash continues to record and perform. He released Mango Django in 2004.[9] Macy eventually left the Chicks over a dispute in musical direction. She eventually moved to Kansas where she is the owner of the Bartlett Arboretum in Belle Plaine. She teaches mathematics at the Wichita Collegiate School in Wichita. Band line-up
