Danny Garwood has been passionately playing guitar for six years, drawing inspiration from artists like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Gales, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Based in Nashville, TN, his mission is to keep the blues alive and pass it on to the next generation of musicians.
The journey began at the age of 10, when he attended his first jam session and was invited to play. This experience ignited a deep love for the guitar, leading to regular jam sessions and live performances starting at age 11.
In 2022, Danny competed in the Dallas International Guitar Festival's '10 under 20' competition. During the festival, Ally Venable invited him on stage, resulting in a viral YouTube video with over 5 million views. This exposure led to opportunities to open for Ally in Houston, TX, and Nashville, TN. In 2023, Danny returned to the '10 under 20' competition, earning 3rd place as the youngest competitor.
Danny has had the honor of sharing the stage with Buddy Guy and Christone "Kingfish" Ingram at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville during Buddy's Farewell Tour. He currently has the honor to host the youth blues jam at Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, MS, in conjunction with the International Blues Challenge.
As a two-time Masterclass alum of the Pinetop Perkins Foundation workshops in Clarksdale, Danny has honed his craft under the guidance of blues legends, including Bob Margolin of the Muddy Waters Band.
Danny Garwood & Company, his band, is available for bookings, as well as solo acoustic performances. Use the BOOKING link below for more information on booking and other inquiries related to Danny Garwood.
