Danny Wells, didn't start out with a plan like most average musicians.  It was Christmas morning at age 12 when Danny recieved a 4-10 shotgun for a present.  After a year of sitting and collecting dust Danny's father finally realized that he probably was not the hunter type and replaced the gun with a Silvertone guitar with an Amplifier in the guitar case from Sears and Roebuck.  This, now would be his weapon of choice and unto this world another musician was born.  A family friend gave a few lessons to him and soon he was on his way.  His parents were great supporters of his craft and often they would have to drive him to gigs as he was not yet old enough to have a drivers license.  Danny had a number of friends who played also such as Jimi Moore, Phil Fischer and Steve Mottin.  Steve taught Danny to play chess and Danny was never able to beat Steve but still loved the game.  Danny and Jimi & Steve played together in their very first bands.  With names like "The Third Eye" and "Street Light Icebox" they played for their peers at TeenTown & CYC dances and other school events.  In 1969 they were fortunate enough to have performed on the famed "Corky the Clown Show " which broadcasted on KSD Channel 5.  Danny's early musical influences were Fats Domino, Elvis, The Beatles, Sam & Dave, The Cream, Jimi Hendricks and Blue Cheer and too many others to mention.  He played a variety of styles throughout his youth as to create a more well rounded musician.  He spent years playing up and down the famed St.Charles Rock Road in the 70's when the music was abounding.  More music, more bands throughout the 80's he came in contact and played with many different musicians playing Rock, Blues, Country & Variety. In March, 1988, he teamed up with Stacey in the band Lucky Star.  Together they toured the US, and Canada, performing and enjoying the friends made along the way.  Danny is thankful that his life had been full of music and happy now that he is able to do what he loves with people that he enjoys doing it with.
