Biography
From Bluegrass

performed it all, including his own original songs.

Mountains, Danny’s songwriting is gaining critical acclaim with
radio stations and listeners alike. Songs from his many CD releases, are already receiving regional airplay and providing
him with a new fan base. And while building a
audience for his music pleases Danny, becoming a “star” is
not something that occupies his mind or all of his time.
Entertaining crowds, large

toured with Bill Monroe, and his son James Monroe, a stint with
Giant Records recording artists “Spencer Crossing”, the
“Tribute to Garth Brooks” showcase, a Central American USO
tour, and so much more, Danny Ray Cole’s resume would swell the
head of most other musicians. But
Danny’s feet are firmly planted and dedicated to remaining a local
boy no matter where the music business make take him. Residing in Dawsonville,
Georgia, Danny’s love for music first came from his grandfather,
Fred Gibbs of Toccoa, Georgia who encouraged the young man to learn
the fiddle. Accepting
his grandfathers advice, Danny has turned his love of the instrument
and the music into a professional career. A choice that has not only pleased his family but music
audiences worldwide. And
you can bet that Danny Ray Cole will continue to entertain crowds as
long as there is a listening ear. Danny has also produced two music videos. "Whispering Waters" a single from the "Georgia Gold" CD and "Thunder Road" the title cut from his second album. Both video's are being used for promotional tools to showcase his talents. The "Whispering Waters" video highlights the beauty surrounding the Etowah river in North Georgia while the "Thunder Road" production blends live footage of Danny performing with exciting dirt track racing.

Recent career highlights include his fiddle work on the PBS documentary "The Civil War In Georgia", as well as the IMI Music CD release, "Celtic Christian Hymns". Danny has also completed work on his latest CD, "Cajun Fun". and has a new display featuring one of his fiddle's residing in the Georgia Music Hall Of Fame!
