Danny from The Delltones is back with a brand new Country Rock Show
Danny is currently busy writing songs with his five piece band for his next album and will be taking his Country Rock Show to stages across Australia in 2011.

Danny is very excited and keen to get out on the road again performing some of his own songs along with some old favourites that have been a big part of his career.
The show will take you on a musical ride from early influences that Danny grew up with and listened too, such as Elvis Presley, Benny King, Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke to music from his current album, 19 Longfield Street. 
This is a high energy show from beginning to end and will certainly guarantee a night to remember as we take you thru an era of great sounds and strong vocals.

Danny met Greg Mackay and Jeannie Ashurst when they performed backup vocals on the album back in 2009 and from there on began to recruit other members such as David Ashurst, a brilliant guitarist and Sam Shepherd who was last year nominated for a Golden Guitar Award. Last but not least Greg Richards who comes with years of experience completed the final selection.

The album 19 Longfield Street has been critically acclaimed not only here in Australia but also throughout Europe to the point where the first single from the album The Drifter is now being played in 18 countries worldwide.

Jon Wolfe of Capitol News, quoted THIS ALBUM ALLOWS DANNY TO STAND OUT WHERE HE BELONGS AND COULD LEAD HIM DOWN A WHOLE NEW CAREER PATH€�.
