Danny Bryant's Red Eye Band

Danny Bryant’s RedEyeBand were born in 1999, the present day line up comprises of Danny Bryant – lead guitar/vocals/songwriter, Ken Bryant [his father] bass and Dave Raeburn [ex Hoax, ex Nimmo Brothers] on drums. Ken’s solid bass playing meshes perfectly with Dave to make a tight driving rhythm section.

The band are a power house trio led by a guitar virtuoso [in the real sense of the word] who has an amazing ability to wring every last drop out of his guitar, and then a bit more! Danny's singing perfectly compliments his guitar playing, whether it is belting out a raw blues/rock number, or a subtler rendition.

Most people by now know about the bond between Walter Trout and Danny and they are indeed firm friends. They love to jam together and a few lucky people have been able to witness this at some of Walter’s concerts over the past three years.

In July 2004 the band released their third album on Blues Matters Records, entitled ‘Covering Their Tracks’, the first time that the band have featured some covers as well as original songs, they have had so many requests from audiences to record these covers which they play live at shows that they bowed to popular demand. The album sold in great quantities, and their prior releases ‘Watching You’ [2002] and ‘Shadows Passed [2003] are still selling extremely well.

The band have now released their fourth album on the Blues Matters label, entitled ‘Days Like This’ with special guest on the title track Walter Trout, this is proving to be their most popular release so far.

Danny and the band are also going down a storm on the Continent, regularly touring over there to big, enthusiastic audiences. The three members of the band are all totally committed musicians who always give a fantastic show and who are bouncing up the musical ladder and won’t stop until they reach the very top. They are fast becoming one of the most popular blues/rock bands on the festival/club circuit.

Danny Bryant’s RedEyeBand are one of the most exciting live stage acts you will ever see, if you have not already seen the band in action then make it your number one priority, you will be very glad you did!

“All of the superlatives that you could apply in describing his playing are appropriate: he plays with emotion, intensity, tone, and fluidity. His vocals are the perfect foil to his playing in that he has a powerful, bluesy, gravely voice that belies his age” Al Kaplan www.bluesrockers.ws

“To summarise, I’ll be blunt, it’s a bloody superb album. As with the previous three of Danny’s Blues Matters Records albums, this one contains an eclectic mix of styles, all of equal value and enjoyment. There are no album fillers; every track stands up on its own merits and the sum total of this result in the best album yet from our home grown bluesman, Danny Bryant. Buy with confidence”.
Steve Lally www.rockofthenorth.com [Album review Days Like This]

Danny is the longest serving artist on the Blues Matters! label and this is his 4th CD for the label and their 30th CD in all. How appropriate, then, that it should be such a smasher with Danny showing only too well how his writing, singing and playing have all matured way beyond his years. This will delight Danny’s fans and should also bring him to the attention of many others.

“Congratulations and thank you to all concerned for another fine CD, definitely the best yet!” Ashwyn Smyth www.digitalblues.co.uk [Album review Days Like This
