I've been an avid follower of Danny's band for the last few years. I saw them a few times on the waterfront in Yarmouth before making the connection of who they were. I went to school with Danny's younger brother Mike. Mike was one of the more trendy, musical, cool guys in our class during those years. I didn't really know Danny back in those days, but his musical talent is something to be admired.
Having had the chance to listen to Danny and his band, The Chunk of Funk, it's insane how good he is on the guitar. He plays it like it is an extension of his own arm or something. He sings with a lot of soul and tonnes of humour as well; his "off the cuff" method of changing up a song to be about someone in the audience is really fun to witness. Music seems to be a part of his essence in a way that frees him up to play just about any instrument and sound like a professional. As creative as he is with his music, he is also a creative entrepreneur and can build just about anything I think.
As I get to know Danny better, I have learned about how kind, open hearted and gentle he is. He appreciates people and genuinely cares about how people are doing. He's a hugger and likes to take time for people when he sees them. I am glad to have a friend like him. I added a couple links from Youtube of his playing. The photos on this post are a mix of recent and new pics of Danny, enjoy!
Check out the Myspace link as well, and if you have a private function in Yarmouth that you need music for, I guarantee you won't be disappointed by the Chunk of Funk!
