Danny Myrick grew up in the gulf coast town of Pascagoula, Mississippi the son of a Baptist Minister father and church pianist mother. From an early age he hewned his skills as a musician playing bass and singing in his family’s gospel band, which recorded their first album when Danny was 7 years old. Danny’s dad also promoted local gospel concerts and as a result Danny had the opportunity to be on stage almost every weekend opening for virtually every major gospel quartet as well as playing numerous times weekly at his local church. He got his first cut at age 17 when the Dixie Melody Boys quarted recorded the 12 week 1 song, "Jesus Is The Light".After high school, Danny moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University where he ran out of money and ended up back at home in Mississippi. He then married his high school sweetheart, Jana Maples, and they headed back to Nashville to pursue music full time. After a few years of striking out in the music business, Danny joined with best friend Chris Marion to create Western Flyer, a 6 man vocal group patterned in the style of 70’s country rock bands the Eagles and America. He was lead vocalist, bassist and principal songwriter for the band. Western Flyer made two cd’s and had several top 40 hits including the top 20 song, "What Will You Do With M-E?" They also made 3 videos including the critically acclaimed "Cherokee Highway" which dealt with racial violence in 1960’s Mississippi. They became the first non-African American artist to perform at the Martin Luther King Day festivities in Atlanta in 1995.Western Flyer disbanded later in the 1990’s and after a few years out of the business Danny decided in 2002 to recommit himself to songwriting and performing. One day he ran into an old friend, Jeffrey Steele from the 90’s country band Boy Howdy, who had since become one of country music’s hottest songwriters, at a local Nashville Starbucks and that meeting was the beginning of a new phase in Danny’s career.Within a few weeks, Danny signed a publishing contract with Windswept Pacific Publshing and Steele’s 3 Ring Circus Music. After a 3 year stint with Windswept, Danny inked a new deal with Steele’s Soulride Music in 2005, where he has had numerous cuts over the previous 3 years including Montgomery Gentry’s "Hey Country", current Craig Morgan single, "International Harvester" and Big and Rich single, "LOUD", which is also the theme song for CMT’s "Gone Country". He now writes/produces for Root 49 Music, an exciting new entertainment/media venture in Nashville.Danny has performed over the past few years on the road with artists ranging from country music’s Jeffrey Steele and Shannon Brown to Christian artists Lincoln Brewster and Mark Shultz. He has also provided background vocals for numerous hit country artists including Keith Anderson, Blake Shelton and Montgomery/Gentry. In addition to his cuts as a songwriter, Danny currently is heavily involved as a writer and/or producer with several incredibly talented artists such as Alice Peacock ("Bliss"), the Coppolas (CMT’s "Can You Duet"), Bridgette Tatum and Jane Deere.
