The life of a singer-songwriter is truly a dichotomy: half swaggering troubadour sweeping into town and onto a spotlit stage, and half the unseen tribulations of a nomadic life and its effects on relationships and those closest to us. In a way, Danno Simpson was born into this life, immersed in music from a young age by a family with wanderlust. The constantly revolving cast of characters and backdrops provided the experiences that fill simpson expertly crafted songs and created a familiarity and comfort with the spontaneity and uncertainty that permeate the music industry.

Danno’s musical journey has progressed from a lifelong appreicaton of the holy trinity of Texas Songwriters (Townes, Guy, and Jerry Jeff) and the Rock & Roll sesnisbilites of the late 1990’s and early 2000’s Alt-Country scene, gaining steam in the underground punk house show circut throughout Colorado and finally exploding onto the growing Alt-Country/Americana scene in 2020 with the release of his self produced debut EP “Honest Work”. With follow-up singles and EPs in 2022, 2023, and 2024, the raucous and dedicated following to his original music has allowed the opportunity to share stages with artists including Wilco, The Steelwoods, Red Clay Strays, 49 Winchester, Dylan Gossett, and more. All the while crisscrossing the nation, making fans wherever he goes, be it an intimate acoustic performance or a full-fledged rock show.

The hard work and dedication to his craft that Simpson credits as his key to success are paying dividends in both his live show and recordings, with a full-length album planned for release in the summer of 2025 and a calendar increasingly full of live performances. While the path to success in music is not an easy one, and can be defined in many different ways, the steadfast progress and honest production style that have exemplified Danno’s career set the course for years of cathartic and catchy songs that continue to grow and evolve as he does.
