While many musicians tend to rate on our Heroe list, the gentleman that invented the DANELECTRO Amp & the DANELECTRO Guitar; Nathan I. Daniel rates as one of our top heroes because he made it possible for so many of our performers & customers to begin to play guitar as he was the first to make the options of amplified music available to the general public by making more affordable options. Below you will find a link to his story.

Hakkımda: In late 1988, Heights Guitar owner Jim Mendenhall (Dr. Zoomac) purchased the former Leola's Steakhouse from Leola Frankel of Frankel's Costume Company to establish a live music venue. Soon the bar became a favorite place for those looking for what we now call "Americana" music- blues, rock, country, folk. The oldest blues jam in Houston started at Dan's in December, 1988 and has had as guests Tab Benoit, Greg Allman, Billy Gibbons, and Richard Gere. When Dr. Zoomac decided to turn an old bank into a guitar shop/ music venue in Moulton, Texas .. after 16 years, he sold Dan Electro's to Bob Edwards. Booking the best local, regional, and touring bands; Dan's has become internationally known as a place where anyone can relax or dance in a comfortable atmosphere with good music. Our large backyard, with brick and stone patio built by Leola's husband, is a great place to relax and visit or throw a party. Plenty of free parking is available.
Located in The Houston Sunset Heights neighborhood, established in the 1920's, 30's, and 40's, Dan Electro's is two blocks from the great Airline Farmer's Market and several very good restaurants on Airline Drive. Nearby North Main also has many good restaurants, some reflecting the Hispanic influence of the area. Several are open until midnight on weekends and a few 24 hours.
In essence we are a small club dedicated to the lesser known but talented local and regional musicians. We feature a Blues jam on Thursday nights which has boasted some of Houston's finest musicians and different feature bands each Friday & Saturday nights. Each night @ Dan Electro's is different and will feature different music, some of our regular performers are people like CARRIE ANN BUCHANAN, CAROLYN WONDERLAND, BEANS BARTON & THE BIPEDS, THE FONDUE MONKS, PLUMP, & BLENDT.
For those of you wanting to sample music we are featuring each week, note that we change our top friends each week to give a direct link to the people playing soon. Thanks for checking out our page, yer pals @ DAN ELECTRO'S GUITAR BAR.
