Danny Bryant (born 26 July 1980 in Royston, Hertfordshire, England) is an English blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter known for his fiery playing and powerful vocal delivery (Source: Wikipedia). He began playing guitar at 14 and turned professional at 18, initially performing as Danny Bryant's RedEyeBand alongside his father Ken Bryant on bass and drummer Trevor Barr, until his father's retirement in July 2013 led the group to be rebranded simply as Danny Bryant (Source: Wikipedia). He has toured internationally and shared stages with Buddy Guy, Carlos Santana, Joe Cocker and Mick Taylor (Source: Wikipedia). Bryant signed with the German label Jazzhaus Records in 2011, releasing his major-label debut for the imprint, "Hurricane," in 2013, followed by a string of albums including "Temperature Rising" (2014), "Blood Money" (2016) — which featured guest appearances from Walter Trout and Whitesnake's Bernie Marsden — "Revelation" (2018), "Means of Escape" (2019), "The Rage To Survive" (2021), "Rise" (2023) and "Nothing Left Behind" (2026) (Source: Wikipedia; Blues Rock Review). In 2014 he fronted Walter Trout's touring band for a five-week North American run while Trout recovered from liver transplant surgery (Source: Wikipedia). His current band features Marc Raner on guitar, Jamie Pipe on keys and Hammond organ, Artjom Feldtser on bass and Alex Hinz on drums (Source: Jazzhaus Artists tour listings). In a candid 2026 interview tied to "Nothing Left Behind," Bryant described hitting rock bottom two years earlier, when "touring was about how messed-up I could get, and it wasn't about the music any more" (Source: Louder Sound).

Musical Influence

Bryant's two-decade run on Jazzhaus Records, guest turns from Walter Trout and Bernie Marsden on "Blood Money," and his stint fronting Walter Trout's own band during Trout's 2014 recovery all mark him as a respected figure within the modern European blues-rock touring circuit (Source: Wikipedia).
