Having jumped a lot of hurdles right off the bat, Danny Beirne found his arrival in Los Angeles encouraging at first. He'd landed an agent in record time – within the first month of moving there! --- got a national TV commercial spot; succeeded in getting his band, Skip Castro, in their first film; was chosen to work in a fledgling studio's stable of bands,  headed by industry giant Tom Chase; worked with several other big name producers; and, of course, rocked the nights away with several hot L.A. based bands.
 GUESS WHAT?
The post 9-11 blues set in, making his commercial agent, Robin Levy & Associates, close shop after 26 years in the biz! Danny found himself flying back to the east coast more and more to perform choice gigs, then flying back to L.A. This in and of itself was laden with turmoil since the terrorist attacks.
IT DIDN'T TAKE AN EINSTEIN TO FIGURE OUT THAT BACK EAST WAS WHERE HE SHOULD GO!
So back he went, back to Charlottesville, Virginia, happy, healthy, & prepared to perpetuate mayhem. You'll see him with some of his Skip Castro buddies, as well as a slew of young talent in a new high energy blues act called The Danny Beirne Band. They'll blow you away with their hard-rockin', swingin', soulful boogie woogie.
He's working on new material at his home studio (yet to be named - any suggestions?) Fully up to speed in our ever more virtual world, Danny's still in negotiations with his many contacts in Los Angeles about music publishing opportunities, and a screenplay in the works about his life (he says it's a comedy), and he just keeps going...
