There used to be a place in West Hollywood called Pandora’s Box, a great hangout for all ages. A refuge for free-thinkers. The closing of the club and the riots that occurred inspired Stephen Stills to write the song for What It’s Worth. The song rings true now for all of us as we sort through the machinations that our culture has created. Fight back against the machine, stay in love, stay real.

I hope we can create a new place like this in Los Angeles. A place where people can communicate, share ideas, hear great music and feel free. It’s coming . . . I can feel it.

Rock’n Rhumba with influences of Flamenco and Latin Jazz

A superb ensemble of professional musicians, led by Los Angeles concert guitarist Karl F. Grossman. The music is California Rockin’ Rhumba, with influences of Flamenco and Latin Jazz, and exciting vocal harmonies… The rhythms are born of cool ocean waves and warm Mexican winds. The music is original, the sound is California, the effect is infectious!

A blending of country, roots rock, and tribal sounds.

In addition to being listed in Music Connection Magazine’s HOT 100 list for 2007, Danny was nominated at the 2002 & 2005 Los Angeles Music Awards for “Male, Singer-Songwriter of the Year” and in 2003 for “Independent Album of the Year.” That album, ‘Where Do I Fit In’, was Danny’s fourth independent release, but the first to include members of the Mudslingers. It is receiving rave reviews and is currently being played on indie and college radio stations all over the country!
