Danny Thompson – Lead singer, guitar, keyboards
Danny Thompson and his band toured throughout the 90’s, spreading his infectious brand of foot-stomping’, good-time country rock in every Province across the country. Performing over 200 tour dates per year, he played scores of concert venues, clubs, festivals, parties, and fall fairs, and became overwhelming favorites on AM and FM radio stations around the country. Along the way, Danny recorded two studio albums for Shotgun and Bel Air Records. Several singles off the albums hit the country music charts in North America and in Europe gaining the respect of the county music industry.
Before long Danny was busy with tour dates, radio and television appearances. Danny quickly emerged as a focal point of the group as the lead singer and major songwriter, penning such hits as “Small Town Blues,” “Rockin myself to sleep,” and “Frozen Lonely”.
Danny is back in the studio again recording his next CD and has since reformed his band with new members, and, with Thompson once again at the helm, has brought back that crowd-pleasing sound that is taking off again. A new album is soon to be released, with the newest Thompson compositions, “Harley Day” and “Copper line Hills” to be the first radio singles. The new band is called “Nowhere Road”. At any performance, Nowhere Road shows are full of fun, up-tempo, Kick Ass! music that gets the crowd involved, singing and dancing away.
The band delivers on its promise of hot pickin’, strong vocals, driving rhythm, which have allowed them to last over two decades and still continue going strong. With two CDs and a third in the works, the best is yet to come.
