The new recording by Danny Eyer features the music of a south Jersey guitarist with a long resume of playing roots, rock and blues. He puts it all together here with his stilized songwriting, his gifted vocals and his emotional guitar playing.
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 most 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 The DANNY EYER BAND opening shows for SUSAN TEDESCHI and JOHNNY WINTER at Trump Marina and in May of 2002, ZZ TOP at Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
