About Me

Danny has been a member of Gov't Mule since 2003. As a multi-instrumentalist he is featured on keyboards, trumpet, and guitar.
As a composer/producer his works have appeared in TV shows and commercials, feature films, record albums, and concert halls.
As an avid golfer his lost balls can be found in heather, gorse, waste bunkers and water hazards.
"The vibration of energy is the language of the universe. Through the expression of our lives and our arts we all speak. I hope there's no shame in being enthusiastic or mulit-lingual. Rock n roll, jazz, blues, bluegrass, country, classical, factories, construction sites, race tracks, all of nature: the wind, the rain, the surf... to my ears it's all music."

Right now, on the myspace player is an excerpt from "The California Symphony". It's the 1st movement entitled "Pebble Beach". This music tells the story of the sights and sounds of the Monterey Peninsula coastline. If you've ever been there, then you know how awe-inspiringly beautiful that part of California can be. It was written before I ever saw the place. Derived from impressions inspired by film, books, and photos, the work premiered from a boom box hidden in a golf bag as my pal Rick DePofi and I played Pebble Beach Golf Links for the first time!
