Until a few years ago, Danny Click was one of Austin’s best-kept secrets, a musician’s musician who’d won the respect of some of alt-country’s biggest names but hadn’t yet found widespread recognition. That changed when Click’s CD Life Is A Good Place, was released and spent more than 12 consecutive months on the Country, pop, and Americana radio charts.
Guitar virtuoso, Danny Click has been compared to the best of the best: Lowell George, Duane Allman, David Lindley, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. His sound is a refreshing return to smart, sassy blues-inflected country rock – think Tom Petty crossed with Wilco, spiced with the southern tradition of Lucinda Williams and John Hiatt.
Click and his band The Hell Yeahs, featuring a round-robin roster of top-shelf musicians, have played more than 300 sold-out shows over the past two years, as well as opening for legends Taj Mahal, Cake, Robert Plant, Mavis Staples and Sonny Landreth. Click’s live shows feature an anything-can-happen mix of stellar songwriting alternating with blistering blues-rock.
Click and band recorded their Captured LIVE CD at the Throckmorton, which was such a hit that they decided to return to record Danny Click and the Americana Orchestra, an all acoustic evening with string quartet. Tonight celebrates the release of their highly anticipated new LIVE CD.
