So, over 100 years of combined professional musical experience says a couple things about Steve Grams and Danny Krieger. (1) They’re old — despite their youthful appearance–, and (2) they can do it all. Don’t try and label these guys, let’s just say these singer/songwriters play Roots Music and leave it at that.
Danny Krieger is one of the Southwest’s most respected guitarists/slide guitarists. His musical resume includes world-wide tours with British pop band ‘Christy’ in the early ’70s and numerous recording sessions with a variety of artists ranging from Exene Cervenka to the late Andy Gibb. He’s also worked with Big Joe Turner, Coco Montoya, Johnny Rivers, and Smokey Wilson & Eric Burdon. Originally from LA, Danny has also toured with Debbie Davies, Sam Taylor, ‘The Mollys’, Holland’s Mr. Boogie Woogie, and John “Juke” Logan. Danny also won a Tucson Area Music Award (TAMMY) for guitar in 2000 and is a member of the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame. Lest we forget, Danny was the child singer in the “Oh, I wish I was an Oscar Meyer weiner…..” commercial! Don’t believe it? Go to www.youtube.com and check it out!
