In an industry full of fluff and filler, Danny's music is the proof that true blues-rock music still exists. A "musician's musician," Danny immerses himself into every bit of the creative process from writing to producing to playing every instrument. This complete hands-on approach ensures that Danny's sound stays raw, soulful, and true to the spirit of live performance. The final product can sometimes be likened to the vintage recording days of rock; reminding listeners of a time prior to the over-produced, over-layered, and over-commercialized songs of the contemporary pop era.
Danny's roots are evident in his bluesy riffs and sometimes psychedelic effects. While the riffs pay homage to such icons as Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton, it's Danny's use of guitar effects that makes one take notice. Danny's blend of old-school-meets-modern-day-effects is probably best described as "Jimi Hendrix meets Tom Morello".
Likely the most outstanding facet of Danny's music, though, is his strict attention to the rhythm section. Danny's beats thump with ferociousness and energy that would put a smile on the face of the late John Bonham. Danny's drum work is the anchor to his sound and a testament to what years of experience and practice can accomplish.
In summation, Danny Patterson's music can be simply described as true.
