Danny Santos

Singer/songwriter Danny Santos melds the inspiration of his Tejano heritage, a musical legacy ranging from Hank Williams to the Beatles, and a Texas-sized determination to create a unique mix of country/folk tinged with bluegrass and the blues. His songs illuminate the joys of true love, the woes of love

lost, and the weary longing of those still searching for love. It's a style forged from maturity, grit and drive. Danny Possesses a strong expressive voice and a compelling on stage presence, whether appearing solo or fronting his all-acoustic band, Los Bluegrass Vatos. Born in South Texas, Danny began playing the guitar at age thirteen. Singing and songwriting seemed to naturally follow soon after. Heavily

influenced by the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and that whole Texas singer/songwriter genre, he continues to create his own brand of quality Texas music.

“His second CD, Headaches and Heartaches...is powerful and convincing from beginning to end. A singer of incredible presence from a production that could hardly be of greater intensity.”  Deiter Muehlena, No Fences Country Magazine, Germany

“...in short his Americana-repertoire is fairly addicting ... (he) writes smoothly and playfully.”                                                                        

Alt Country NL, The Netherlands

“In my opinion he is an artist who deserves being recognized to the standard of the more interesting singer/songwriters from the Lone Star state”.

Remo Ricaldone, Planet Country, Italy

“..a very expressive voice...and writes lyrics that you're glad to take the time to read...”

Benny Metten, Ctrl Altcountry, Belgium

“...Someone like Danny Santos is a gift of the acoustic Gods!”

Erik Bruhlmann, Die Vorstadt, Switzerland

“His songs are lyrical and smart ... reflective, engaging and easy on the ears.”

Jay Hardwig, The Austin Chronicle

“His true strength is his songwriting...his song Desperado puts the Eagles’ song to Shame.”

Steve Terrell, The Santa Fe New Mexican
