At the age of twelve, Danny McGaw was wandering the streets of his native Manchester, England when the world took shape in his eyes. He chanced upon a guy playing a Nick Drake cover on a sidewalk. It wasn’t long before Danny asked his father for a guitar and began writing music. And for the past twelve years, he has followed that same acoustic guitar across an ocean and continent. Lyrically he is an original, with a solid voice that is distinct and memorable, it's apparent this singer pours his heart into the composing process as well as his mind as the lyrics are intelligent and well thought out. Danny genuinely means what he sings also clearly shines through in the vocal performance, which is half the goal in writing songs, the other goal is getting people to take the words to heart, which is subjective to the listener. His songs are quite simple and pure. Danny McGaw is a rising talent to watch, as I have no doubt we will see and hear more good things from this artist.
