Danny grew up in South Central Kentucky playing everything from Bluegrass to
Country to Classical to Rock and Roll. After playing in assorted bands in
Kentucky, Danny made his way to Texas in 1980. Danny did a couple years touring
with Jerry Jeff Walker as his road manager. He began writing and playing his
own music as a part of the Austin music scene and by the early 1990s was
performing on a regular basis.

Danny has performed around the country on shows with the likes of Guy Clark,
Jerry Jeff Walker, John McCutcheon, Chris Smither, Bruce Robison, Nina Gerber, Kelly Willis, Chris
