DANNY MACK & ONE MIGHTY FINE BAND

DANNY MACK: This rare and unique artist now calls Australia home

Most singer-songwriters can deliver an evening of music that will please a crowd. Few can leave their audience with the feelings that arise from a short time spent in the fine company of international Hall of Famer, Danny Mack.

Danny doesn't just sing songs. He lives them. There's a passion that comes from deep within this road warrior, who has literally been there and done that, that will take his audience on a journey they won't forget … not that they'd want to.
From his early beginnings in Vancouver, Canada, where he was entranced by the birth of rock'n'roll and rhythm'n'blues, performing music has been as necessary to this storyteller as breathing in and out.

"I don't play music because I want to. It's a need - a drive to stay alive - that makes me pick up my guitar," Danny says. "I call it medicine for the soul."

And that good medicine has been just the tonic for Australian audiences at festivals from Tamworth to Gympie, Moruya and beyond since Danny and his wife Bonnie moved to Australia from Canada 18 months ago.
A prolific songwriter, Danny can easily fit into any venue. His style is so difficult to pigeonhole - it has a multitude of influences. In any Danny Mack performance you could be treated to blues, rhythm'n'blues, country, folk, rock and dare I say, soul!

"I was taught at an early age that the most important thing in music was the feel, the groove … and most importantly, no matter what you're singing or playing, always do it with soul. If you don't feel it, you don't present it in its finest form," Danny says.

With early tutors and inspirations such as Hank Williams, Leadbelly, Johnny Cash, BB King, Muddy Waters, Ray Charles, Tommy Chong (of Cheech and Chong fame), the world of music has been spread across a broad canvas for this troubadour whose journey has literally taken him millions of miles around the globe.

In a career spanning some four decades, Danny has shared the stage with such illuminaries as Bill Chambers, Stuie French, Corb Lund, Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, BB King, The Doors, The Guess Who, The Sir Douglas Quintet, The Byrds, John Lee Hooker, Don Gibson, Jerry Jeff Walker, Commander Cody and more.

Every day upon waking, Danny is thrilled to know he can perform music, whether it's for the pleasure of family and friends, an intimate audience at a supper club, or a festival with an audience of thousands. It matters not who's out there listening. With Danny - music is life.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT DANNY MACK

Danny Mack is the real deal. He's sort of country but with a touch of rock'n'blues attitude that reminds me of Waylon Jennings' outlaw days
Bill Chambers (singer-songwriter and Reckless Records recording artist)
For those of us who have been listening to Danny Mack's music over the years, it seems like he's always been there. He is, if there ever was one, the walking definition of a cosmic cowboy
Peter North (1996 Music Journalist of the Year, Canadian Music Industry Awards; 2002 Media Person of the Year, Prairie Music Awards; 2003 Media Person of the Year, Western Canada Music Awards)
I've known Danny Mack since I was a small boy of 15. He was great then, and now that he's old as hell ……. he's still the same!
Redd Volkaert (Hightone recording artist and Merle Haggard's guitar player)

Audiences were blown away by Mack's lyrics and song delivery……I do what I do on stage and I've been down the track, but this guy has done a shipload more. He really gives everything when he plays
Justin Brady (Things Of Stone And Wood)

When Danny Mack and One Mighty Fine Band played at SouthGate Inn this festival (2007) the joint was jumpin'. The bar was busy, the dancefloor was packed and the music was great. I'd have them back any time.
Nigel Robertson (Manager, SouthGate Inn, Tamworth NSW)
