ORIGINALLY FROM SOUTH South Bend, Indiana, Danny Sandock has honed his skills as a singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist all over the U.S., starting with his first paid gig at age 13. From there he had successful stints with bands in Bloomington, Indiana; Strawberry Jam in Portland, Oregon; Dixie Gypsy in Atlanta-Athens, Georgia; and with numerous solo and duo performances in southwest Florida and Nashiville, Tennessee, etc. The year 2002 finds Danny in Austin, Texas as he continues to make his mark wherever his travels find him.
Danny's songs are entertaining and fun, painting musical vignettes that explore the everyday idiosyncrasies of life. Whether it's jumping from a roof in an attempt to fly as a child, or developing an allergic reaction to work, Danny's songs capture the folly of the human experience in ways that leave us smiling.
The Sandock catalog sprang to life in 1997 with the release of his debut CD, Back to Unreality. Working between Boomington and Indianapolis at the time, the CD received radio airplay and was supported with solo, duo and band gigs in the area. The positive reception to the CD led to two songs being released as singles on the Nashville-based Charlie Ray Presents compilation series alongside such notable artists as Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, Kitty Wells and the Mavericks. The compilations received international radio exposure.
After recording three tracks in south Florida in January 2000, several gigs were booked in Austin in March and became a catalyst for a move. Danny completed tracking and mixing his second full-length CD, One For All Seasons in Austin between May and October. Promotional performances were played through out the Fall, beginning with a release party November 2, 2000 at Speakeasy in Austin, Texas.
