DANNY started getting into music at the ripe old age of 2 years! His Mother says he learned to read from a 45 record collection. There was ALWAYS a wide variety of music going on in the Eyer household: His Mom would listen to AM radio all day (late '60s, early '70s), and his Dad would play Blues, Jazz, Bluegrass/Country records on weekends with his Uncle! He started playing guitar & piano at the age of 5...
DANNY spent the second half of the 1980's as musical director for oldies band DANNY AND THE JUNIORS (At The Hop ; Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay). As such, He would frequently play shows with numerous rock and roll acts. This enabled him to travel the world, performing and learning from such R & B / Rock and Roll legends as CHUCK BERRY, WILSON PICKETT, BEN E. KING, BO DIDDLEY, GARY U.S.BONDS, THE COASTERS, THE DRIFTERS, MARTHA REEVES, MARY WELLS, EDDIE KENDRICKS, DAVID RUFFIN, LITTLE ANTHONY, DEL SHANNON, BOBBY LEWIS, THE BOX TOPS, LOU CHRISTIE, and countless others. Dan usually played with these artists, & more, on big shows hosted by emcees like DICK CLARK, WOLFMAN JACK, and BOWSER of Sha Na Na.
In the 1990's, DANNY played and recorded here with local bands J.Z. and THE TONE BOMBS, HAWKINS ROAD, THE SHAKES, and DANE ANTHONY & THE SONS OF THUNDER. Performing in the New Jersey/ Pennsylvania/Delaware/New York area, He was playing cover and original material, often opening shows for big names like CONFEDERATE RAILROAD, TIM McGRAW, and BROOKS & DUNN. Simultaniously, Dan started his self-titled blues trio, working and recording some original music in the same areas. In the late nineties, the blues trio was invited to play Bluestock- 97 in Memphis at B.B. King's Blues Club on Beale Street,opening for such blues artists as CHRIS THOMAS KING and KENNY WAYNE SHEPPARD.The following years found DANNY opening shows for DUKE ROBILLARD, BUDDY GUY, SUSAN TEDESCHI and JOHNNY WINTER at Trump Marina, ZZ TOP at Trump Taj Mahal, and BB KING at House Of Blues in Atlantic City.
Throughout the years, DANNY has been lucky enough to be in the recording studio for TV/Radio commercials, Up & Coming Artists, & light engineer/tech work. Dan's ability to play Guitar, Bass, Keys, Drums/Programming as well as lead/background vocals has helped him to be called back for many new & exciting sessions.
DANNY moved his family down to Nashville for a year (2000-2001) for some new musical experiences. He and his Wife, Raquel, worked for GIBSON GUITARS during the day, in the custom shop: Danny, in original acoustic instruments).At night, He would play downtown, mostly country or bluegrass. Performances in a few clubs on the outskirts of town would be more blues and rock oriented. The recording sessions Danny has done there were mainly bluegrass, supplying Bass, Keys, Drums, Conga, & Background Vocals for some fine Nashville singer/songwriters.
They've since moved back to their home state of New Jersey, & Danny has recorded 2 rhythm & blues CDs, plus jingles for the Philadelphia 76er's & Phantoms hockey team. DANNY EYER is currently touring with Philadelphia Soul/Jazz legend BILLY PAUL.
