Keeping the Blues Alive
At just 16 years old, Danny Garwood is already making waves in the music world with his undeniable passion for the blues. Inspired by legends like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Gales, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Danny's mission is clear: to keep the blues alive and inspire the next generation of musicians.
Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Nashville, TN, Danny leads the dynamic band Danny Garwood & Company (DG&CO), an electrifying mix of blues, rock, and southern rock. Despite his young age, Danny has already shared the stage with iconic artists such as Ally Venable, Christone Kingfish, and the legendary Buddy Guy at the historic Ryman Auditorium.
Danny Garwood & Company deliver high-energy performances that leave audiences buzzing for days. Expect to hear people asking, "What does a 16-year-old kid know about the blues?" and marveling at "How he plays with so much feeling at such a young age!"
Join Danny on his journey to keep the spirit of the blues alive and kicking.

Chicago, IL
Alternative rock -
With members across the state of Indiana, rock n roll band ‘Free Joel’ adds a breath of fresh air to the historic rock scene by utilizing heavy riffs, the blues, and psychedelic elements in their music. Further inspired by upbeat dance tunes from the seventies and onwards, ‘Free Joel’ explores everywhere between classic rock and blues to funky grooves that you can't help but dance and bob your head to.
In 2023, the band compiled five original songs to release their first EP, titled "No Future.” One of the singles off the album, “I Wanna Keep It” continues to catch the interest of modern blues-rock listeners around the world after landing a spot on a Spotify-curated playlist.
Members Noah Martin (vocals, guitar), Jillian Burton (vocals, bass, keys), Kyle Krawczyk (drums), and Reid Webber (guitar) met in 2021 in their mid-size college town of Muncie, Indiana. More recently, the band has settled down in northwest Indiana and surrounding Chicagoland, where two of the members are from originally. Here, the group continues to grow as songwriters and entertainers.
