Danny Flowers

Rock

Nashville TN

Artist Bio:

Danny Flowers’s album Tools for the Soul is a folk-inflected, roots rock journey of redemption by one of Nashville’s premier guitarists and songwriters. In crisp response to the musical question “O Brother Where Art Thou?”, Danny Flowers delivers the resounding response “Here I Art” through his stunning Brash Music label debut. Southern musical styles in particular have always included an element that mingled freely and seemed to defy the ability to be described in a single word. And that’s what we have with this. Danny Flowers’s record–it’s partly gospel, and the blues, and folk, and country. If you need to sum it up in a neater package, it’s essentially an “American Music” record. Which means a melting pot of styles but with an unabashedly Spiritual message. Calling it a Gospel record doesn’t quite do it justice because of the musical cubbyhole that this implies in some circles. Calling it a blues record is not quite right either–and yet the personal pain and suffering that gave birth to the blues sits right in the middle of the songwriting, and Danny plays one of the finest slide guitars this side of heaven. Maybe it’s an updated brand of traditional American folk music. While it might avoid a neat description, we think its appeal is unavoidable. We’ll leave it to the listener to decide.

Artist Bio:

In the last few years alone he’s driven 80,000 miles to play in more than 50 cities in 20 states. When you figure in the airplanes and rental cars, it adds up to a lot of scenery and a lot of songs.

The journey, and the songs, began in the Pacific Northwest. Craig’s parents were both music teachers. Around the house, sounds ranged from Brubeck to Mancini; Victor Borgé to Jonathan Winters. Later influences included Motown, Joni Mitchell, Tom Lehrer, and The Beatles.
