Danny G

Danny G has been making a name for himself in the Austin music scene since moving from Corpus Christi, TX in January 2000.



As a guitar player he recorded and toured with Southern Gun Culture and Shandon Sahm, son of Texas Music Legend Doug Sahm. Picking up the bass to broaden his musical options paid off when he joined The Mother Truckers in 2007, who gained heavy airplay on Little Steven's Underground Garage and a feature interview in Nov 2008 Guitar Player Magazine. He was voted Number 8 Bass Player in Austin for the 2008-9 Austin Music Awards. In 2009 he signed on with King's X as guitar tech to Ty Tabor and joined the Eric Tessmer Band full time.



In his meager spare time Danny has home-recorded 2 instrumental solo albums, photographs bands around Austin, writes and updates Danny G's Rock Blog, and builds Armour Roadcases and Pedalboards.
