Born and raised in the Midwest, Danny Grause got his start in school bands and bars playing drums in high school jazz band and playing guitar in his father's band at 16. As a self-taught, multi-instrumentalist Danny learned how to play everything he could get his hands on, finally settling on guitar when he started writing his own songs. After travelling the world serving as an electronics technician in the US Navy, Danny came back to Iowa to return to his musical roots. That's when he caught the attention of none other than CMA and Grammy award-winning "Zac Brown Band" as he finished in second place in the "Sailing Southern Ground Song Contest" with his country-funk favorite "Don't Tell Mama", beating out more than 750 other artists. The confidence gained by that experience led him to begin fronting his own band and recording more original music. Today he is one of the most sought-after acts in Iowa, and he lends his talents to other regional acts like the Damon Dotson Band as well. Danny is one hell of a charismatic entertainer who always leaves the audience wanting more. An expert at reading a room, Danny can deliver the party all night long or perform a more laid-back set if the occasion calls for it. Give him a call today!
