About Me |

| Danny Burns' Defectors 'Grace & Mercy' Available NOW!! .. Led by Danny Burns on vocals, guitar, (a product of a working musician's family in Northwest of Ireland), Danny has been on the road as a full-time musician since leaving home at the age of 17. Pulling from as many different styles and influences as there are musical tastes in the Defectors, while conjuring up every bit of road,dirt & gravel that DBD has rolled in or passed over since first setting out from home. Danny's voice and the Defectors style have drawn the comparisons of Van Morrison,Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Richard Thompson, Steve Earle, and Ryan Adams. What Danny describes as "just roots music" contains elements of Soul,RnB, Blues, Alt- Country, Traditional Country, folk ,Hip-Hop, Reggae, Traditional Irish Music, Jazz and funk as any true artist should, always growing. On Grace & Mercy, Danny and his Defectors let the listener ride shotgun while taking them on a journey through New York, Nashville and New Orleans, throughout Europe,Scandanavia the U.K. and Ireland, some roads recognizable others unfamiliar. As each mile marker passes, the Defectors create musical imagery that compliments Danny's thick and "aged" Irish accent, as he weaves tales of struggle, loss and hope. Danny was featured in the critically acclaimed documentary "The Fairytale of New York", about Irish living-legend singer/songwriter Shane McGowan (Pogues) which is aired regularly on Irish National Television. Several years of extensive touring throughout Europe and the United States have allowed for the pleasure of sharing the stage with such greats as Damien Dempsey, Seanchai & the Unity Squad, The Greencards,Paddy Casey,as well as playing the legendary 'Writers Night 'at the Bluebird Cafe Nashville-home to the greats such as Townes Van Zant, Guy Clark, Emmy Lou Harris, Steve Earle... Danny Burns' Defectors are currently performing throughout the U.S. What people are saying about Danny Burns' Defectors...

As far as I'm concerned THIS IS Irish music." - JOHN GINTY -( Grammy winning organist and producer..) "Grace & Mercy is a pleasant listen. Burns'vocals are warm with a guttural street sense about them. The songs have some soul, some folk-rock..." REAL CHICAGO...

"GREAT TUNES!!" - PADDY CASEY..(MTV'S ARTIST OF THE WEEK) "I was intrigued when I found Danny Burns' Defectors, a rootsy, folky, rockin' kind of band with an Irish front man currently living in the US. Their CD, "Grace and Mercy," is filled with an endless variety of soulful, acoustic based and lyrically rich songs that I enjoyed listening to. Burns' words are strong, colorful, and full of imagery ..." - Listeners Generation "He's a great songwriter." - DAMIEN DEMPSEY..(3 TIME METEOR AWARD WINNER & IRISH LEGEND..) "Great Voice,"-GLEN HANSARD..-ONCE/.SWELL SEASON/THE FRAMES..(Oscar winning Artist.) "The next generation of balladeers.
