INTERVIEW “A fantastic guitar player… able to take a Fen- der Stratocaster and really make it sing…” Joe Bonamassa – Danny Bryant was born in Hertfordshire England in July 1980. First hailed as a 'young guitar prodigy' he began playing guitar aged 15, turning professional just three years later, and in the last decade has paid his dues clocking up endless miles of traveling and approximately two thousand shows in many countries around the world. After a decade of hard toil he now gets the recog- nition he so well deserves, being acknowledged by those in the business as one of the cream of the crop of this generation of blues artists, ably backed by his rhythm section of his father Ken on bass and Trevor Barr on drums. In a career already littered with highlights including many sold out club tours across Europe and numerous major festival appearances that have seen the power trio perform on the same bill as such names as Joe Cocker, Carlos San- tana, Buddy Guy and Peter Green to mention a few; Danny and his band have steadily carved a huge and loyal fan base around the world.
