Danny Grause is a singer-songwriter from cental Iowa who is quickly winning the hearts of country music fans all over Iowa and beyond. The depth and honesty of his songwriting is the product of a life spent “taking the long way around”. Danny spent 6 years travelling the world in the U.S. Navy before retuning home to pursue his life-long dream of a career in music. A decision a lot of people thought was crazy, but to him it made perfect sense. As he explains it, “I didn’t want to be a guy that read a news clipping and wrote a song about it. I wanted to be the guy who really had something to write about because I was there”. This approach has led Danny to write songs with an authenticity that is rare these days. Many of his songs touch on the usual subject of love gone wrong, like the heartbreaking “You’re Supposed To Know I’m Lying”, but he also digs deeper in songs like “8 more days”, which provides an inside look at Danny’s return home from Operation Iraqi Freedom. On the lighter side, Danny earns his reputation as a “funky cowboy” by fusing funk and blues styling with clever lyrics in songs like “Don’t Tell Mama”, the story of a good ol’ boy getting into trouble ‘out in the sticks’. In the past Danny has taken a supporting role lending his talents to other local artists, including “Nashville Star” Finalist “Shawn Mayer”. Now he's looking to take his own music to the next level.
