Bio
I can provide promotion for music in the Roots community - Americana, Alt Country, Rock'n'Roll, Soul, Blues, Folk, Zydeco, and World music. I prefer to promote new music and will not promote music over 3 years old.
A thirty-year-plus veteran of the music industry, Danny runs the operations for The Alternate Root magazine. From 1979 to 1985 he wrote and developed radio shows, programming and organized the yearly local music event ‘The Rock and Roll Rumble’ for legendary radio station WBCN in Boston, Massachusetts.
