DANNY JOHNSON
Danny has developed quite a reputation for himself while racking up an impressive list of accomplishments making his mark on the history of Rock N Roll.

Danny is currently the lead guitarist in John Kay and Steppenwolf and is on the new Steppenwolf CD "Feed the Fire". His discography includes 20 CD’s and 8 soundtracks to his credit, including; "Wayne’s World" and "Gremlins". "Grih Grih Thing", his recent solo project, is Danny’s return to his roots in Louisiana where Voodoo reins supreme and the music melting pot is stirring up that gumbo. Where blues meets rock n’ roll and is stirred up with a mix of country, gospel and zydeco. Danny will have a new CD titled "Over Cloud 9", coming out this year. It has featured performances from Carmine, Appice, members of The Kentucky Headhunters, and Steppenwolf , and for the first time in 25 years a reunion with Rick Derringer on a great version of "House of the Rising Sun" Danny will be touring with Steppenwolf , with his band TheTribe, which features other members the Steppenwolf, and the Guitar Slinger's Ball featuring a rotating line up of guitar players including; Pat Travers, Danny Johnson, Rick Derringer, Andy Timmons, and Greg Koch, supporting his new Rainman/Sony Records release, "Over Cloud 9".
