From Rocky Sullivans, Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York 13/08/08Danny Burns is a performing songwriter from the Northwest of Ireland based In Chicago IL.Danny has been on the road as a full time musician/performing songwriter since age 17, playing in such places as New York, New Jersey, Pittsburg, New Orleans, Chicago, Miami, D.C, Memphis, Nashville, Derry, Belfast and throughout the Northwest of Ireland. Coming from a working musician's family this seemed to be the normal thing to do after finishing school! Danny's music has many different styles and influences, but he refers to it as "Its Just roots Music."Danny was hailed by Home&Away NYC, as "The next generation of balladeers, one to watch!", during his time in the New York serving a residency at one of NYC's finest live music venues "Rocky Sullivans". Danny was featured in a documentary about the Irish legend singer/songwriter Shane Mcgowan and his song "The fairytale of New York" which was aired on Irish national televison RTE. Danny returned to the Northwest of Ireland after 2 years in New York where he spent most of his time writing, fishing and drinking! Danny signed up with a D.C/Maryland based folk group and headed back to the states to start performing in pubs, clubs and festival venues all along the eastern sea board. After 6 months of touring with the band Danny caught a greyhound southbound to the crescent city, New Orleans, where he started a winter residency in the heart of the french quarter performing daily shows for the good people of New Orleans. This was a very exciting time for Danny's music to progress and to be influenced by other styles of roots music. After 8 months in New Orleans Danny took up another residency in Chicago at a blues&jazz club where he formed his band from local jazz and blues players, the mix of influences made total sense! After a year of gigging throughout the Chicago land area Danny and his band earned the reputation of being a Great live act.Danny is currently touring, promoting his debut album "Grace and Mercy", which is available to download on itunes.Danny continues to perform strong live shows and draws positive reveiws wherever he goes.www.danielburns.netwww.myspace.com/dannyburnsmusic
