| Anyone who has seen or heard Danny Beirne play will testify to his crack musicianship, keyboard virtuosity, passionate singing, and dazzling showmanship. One may wonder why he hasn’t been exposed to a national audience! Why are his talents, which are legendary in the regions where he has played, not displayed more visibly on television, radio, and film? It’s truly a shame that a man so adept at captivating an audience should go virtually unnoticed in show business.
We would like to change that! Following is a list of items Danny needs for a new promotional tool kit:
- A DVD is presently in production by some of the same people who brought you the documentary "Live from…the Hook." It is a primer of Danny’s talents, focusing on his showmanship, his virtuosity, his charisma, and most importantly, his song-writing. Narrated by his friend and long-time Skip Castro bandmate Charlie Pastorfield, it chugs along in production, never getting completed due mainly to lack of funds.
- 2 CDs, one of new, unreleased original songs to be recorded in the studio, and a second compilation disc of songs Danny wrote for (and were performed by) The Skip Castro Band. These two new discs would be, along with the all original "Danny Beirne Sings Everything…+ 12 Other Big Hits," a presentation of Danny’s songwriting capabilities.
- Re-manufacturing the aforementioned "...Sings Everything…" for re-release.
- A fund to be put aside for entrance into various competitions, promotions, conventions, and concert opportunities.
These first three items would be submitted to booking agents, promoters, publishers, management agencies, television, radio and film companies to help get Danny to where he can devote himself again full time to his entertainment career.
We believe that Danny is a multi-threat: he’s a phenomenal keyboardist, a soulful singer, a dynamic and versatile songwriter, a fun-loving stage presence, a comic personality who could be used in a variety of television and screen settings, a budding screenwriter… Think about how Danny has made you laugh, dance, and groove throughout the years and help him to continue to do that for you and perhaps a much larger audience in the future.
Perhaps the most salient facet of Danny’s attraction is his charisma-his chutzpah-his sheer comical, fun-loving energy, his great good humor both onstage and off. For years Danny has been working with collaborator Bucky Pomerantz on a comedy screenplay, "Who’s Danny?" which is a vehicle for his music and character. While semi-autobiographical and containing a slew of original songs, we feel it still needs work to be the best it can be and needs:
- 1. A collaborator to bring this screenplay to completion. Already, Danny is in negotiations with two published writers, one a very funny man who’s a novelist, one a comedy writer who has had two comedies produced off-Broadway.
- An agent to help book Danny, pitch his original compositions and this screenplay, and get him auditions for acting and performing opportunities.
If you feel strongly about Danny Beirne, you want him to reach a greater audience and have him continue his rock’n’roll adventure, consider this:
$50.00 will get you his newest release, "Danny Beirne Live In Columbus." For years people have been saying Danny's main appeal is in his live performances. So here we have it: one live set with Danny pounding a relentless rock'n'roll beat and belting out one great song after another. This 16 song collection has been hailed by many as a new boogie-woogie piano masterpiece!
OR
"Danny Beirne Sings Everything...+ 12 Other Big Hits." This all original CD, first released in 2000, is a tour de force of Danny's songwriting, keyboard, singing and production virtuosity. All of these songs come from the pen of Danny Beirne – an incredible display of his diverse song-writing capabilities (country, swing, jazz, boogie-woogie, alternative, pop, rock'n'roll, blues, ballads, even spiritual!) – pure Dan-o-mite!
$100.00 will get you "Live In Columbus" AND "Danny Beirne Sings Everything... + 12 Other Big Hits." Not just one great CD but two- almost 2 hours of Danny's unique musical energy. And you'll be helping him to continue in his quest for national acclaim.
For $250.00 you’ll get both the above mentioned CDs PLUS the feature-length documentary "Live from… the Hook." This much-ballyhooed DVD is not just a must for people who remember Danny and his fellow Charlottesville musicians in the hay-day of that town’s music scene. It’s also a jaw-dropping demonstration of the considerably fertile music scene that developed there for those who never knew.
$500.00- You’ll get everything we’ve talked about so far AND the recently re-issued Skip Castro CD "Boogie at Midnight." A classic! Digitally re-mastered and re-released with 3 previously unreleased studio tracks (2 Danny originals) and 4 new live cuts. This is the CD every Skip fan has been waiting for.
$1000: You get it all – "Danny Beirne Live In Columbus," "Danny Beirne Sings Everything…+ 12 Other Big Hits," the "Live from… the Hook" DVD, Skip Castro’s "Boogie At Midnight," PLUS "Meet Danny Beirne," the DVD in production right now, narrated by Charlie Pastorfield with footage from all phases of Danny’s career. An instant collector’s item, as this DVD will never be released to the public except in this exclusive offer.
