Be sure to visit the links below, that all relate to Danny in some way. In the late 1950's and 1960's, Danny played in a band called The Offbeats. In 1980, the original members of The Offbeats reformed and renamed themselves The American Music Company Band. Even after Danny's death, and the passing of Billy Windsor, the band is still playing by keeping the lineup in the family. Find out more... If you are a serious guitar picker, then Jay Monterose is the man you have to see! Jay and Danny co-developed numerous improvements for Danny's Telecasters over the years. Vintique is the culmination of years of hands-on experimentation and countless hours to achieve perfection.

Great information and photos from television performances. Danny once said, “Timm Biery is the baddest drummer on the planet - bar none!”. And he meant it. Timm joined Danny from 1991 until Danny's untimely passing. Find out more about one of the most monsterous drummers in the business. Danny demanded the best from jazz to rockabilly, and everything else in-between. John Previti provided Danny part of the greatest rhythm section of all time. Check out what John is doing these days.

Focusing on the first twenty-five years (1951-1976) of rock music in the nation's capital, author Mark Opsasnick skillfully combines overviews of the city's flourishing nightclub and teen club scenes of the fifties, sixties, and seventies with detailed coverage of local bands and musicians including such greats as Lawrence and the Arabians, Roy Clark, Jack Casady, and Danny Gatton. Danny used Joe Barden pickups in all of his Telecasters, and a few Strats. Fender includes them in the Danny Gatton Signature model. Enough said. If you are not using Joe's pickups, what's wrong with you? Steve Wolf (the Redneck Jazz Explosion) and other members of Danny Gatton's Funhouse formed Swing Speak - swing jazz at its finest.
