My name is Danny Garwood and I’ve been playing guitar for 6 years, and it is my passion. I take inspiration from such artists as Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Gales, Stevie Ray Vaughan and countless others in the guitar world/community. I live in Nashville TN and my mission is to keep the blues alive and pass it on to the next generation of musicians. 

I went to my first jam when I was 10 and they allowed me to play.  I was hooked, I loved it and wanted to learn and do more.  I started playing more jams and began playing live shows when I was 11.   

I competed in the 2022 Dallas International Guitar Festival '10 under 20' competition for the first time.  Ally Venable pulled me up on stage during one of her shows that weekend, and our video on YouTube has had over 5 million views, and counting!  Through that video I was asked to open for Ally in a show in Houston, TX, and also in my hometown of Nashville, TN.  I just recently competed in the 2023 '10 under 20' competition and was awarded 3rd place and was also the youngest in the competition!

I 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. I’m the current host of the youth blues jam at Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, MS in conjunction with the International Blues Challenge and will continue hosting until I turn 18, when it will be handed off to someone else.

I'm also a two time Masterclass alum of the Pinetop Perkins Foundation workshops that are held once a year in Clarksdale….home of the delta blues, and overseen by many living blues legends including Bob Margolin, of the Muddy Waters Band.

I've formed a band called Danny Garwood & Co, and we are available for bookings. I'm also available for solo acoustic shows. Use the BOOKING link below for booking information and anything else related to Danny Garwood....
