Danny Dawson

Danny’s singing and playing career began at the early age of nine years old when his father, a blues singer and picker, fashioned his first guitar out of paneling and old wire. 

Born and raised in the small rural community of Manor, GA just outside of Waycross, Danny’s love of country music can be heard and felt in the ballads that he strums and sings about.  

His early career began as the lead singer for a famous country band that toured Georgia and North Florida during the late 80’s and 90’s, The Georgia Heartbeat.  During this time, Danny opened for country acts that included Tanya Tucker, Ronnie Milsap, Sammy Kershaw, Daron Norwood, David Allen Coe, B.J. Thomas, John Anderson, Mark Chestnut, Confederate Railroad and Tracey Lawrence to name a few. 

He has also shared the stage singing along side country music greats Travis Tritt, Lee Roy Parnell and Waylon Jennings.  Danny had the pleasure of touring with the late great legend Waylon Jennings After a hiatus of many years from the stage, Danny decided to give it one more shot thanks to his fiancée and manager.  Since 2015, Danny has been touring and opening for such acts as Ronnie Milsap, Sammy Kershaw and the band Exile as well as delivering some powerful performances at festivals and events across Southeast Georgia and North Florida.  

In January of this year, Danny's song "Why Can't I Have You" which is on his current CD, "Just a Dream" was released on the Netflix hit show "The Ranch."  The song was produced by Shooter Jennings and sang by Julie Roberts.  Danny will be returning to Nashville, Tennessee in April to record his second CD.  

Although country music has changed through the years, Danny remains steadfast in his love of writing, singing and performing true country music.
