Danny Schmidt Biography

Danny Schmidt is one of the most popular and richest Singer- Songwriter who was born on October 7, 1970 in Austin, Texas, United States. Schmidt was born around 1970, and was raised at Austin, Texas. He began playing guitar when he was 12 years old. When he was 20 he discovered he was a blues fan after tracing his favorite music from Jimi Hendrix back through Muddy Waters, Mississippi John Hurt, and Lightning Hopkins all the way to the old traditional gospels and country songs. He purchased an acoustic guitar and was eventually able to discover Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Waits, and John Prine, from whom the songwriting lessons he received.

Danny Schmidt’s work spans deep-rooted Appalachian Mountain Gospel to English balladry and from the syncopated Piedmont Blues country to unpretentious protest songs. His most significant sources include Townes Van Zandt Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, and Dave Carter. In the issue of Spring 2008 of Sing Out! magazine The reporter Matt Watroba noted that Schmidt’s arrangements are extremely effective, and his performances are relaxed yet lively, and his lyrics are pure poetry.

The debut King of My Living Room performance in Charlottesville convinced fellow singer-songwriter Paul Curreri to make his home there. Schmidt, Curreri, and Sproule became housemates, with Paul and Devon marrying soon after. Curreri later wrote and recorded a letter in song form to Danny, who responded with the yet-to-be-produced song Two Guitars, which he began performing live in 2009. Danny recorded his fifth album Little Grey Sheep (2008) in the Curreri/Sproule home, with Curreri serving as production engineer.

And it has been an issue for me, actually, with a bunch of later songs… the fear of being identified as something I’m not, or as believing in something I don’t. ‘Cause really, my religious, philosophical and political belief systems don’t fit into any traditional nomenclature – as I suspect most people’s don’t. But it’s a vulnerable position, putting little snippets of expression out there for your loved ones, and others, to extrapolate from.

In 2005, Schmidt traveled across the west and east coasts, and also in Alaska as well as in the United Kingdom, Italy, The Netherlands, France, and Italy.
