Bio

Danny Whitecotton is a grounded yet heartfelt singer/songrwiter based out of Wilmington, DE.

With a weathered but refined voice, Whitecotton sings a combination of country, pop, rock, and folk that is heartfelt Americana.

Mostly performing solo, Danny takes the stage with his trusted acoustic guitar, echoing the work of some of the most influential storytellers and troubadours in the folk, country, and blues tradition, yet exploring songs with a fresh, modern ear.

To many people, music is nothing but entertainment, but to others, it is a very personal experience - almost a form of self-therapy. This is certainly the case for Danny, who set out to use his songs to portray his hopes, dreams and feelings, sharing them with his audience in a deep and earnest way. This talented artist has had the opportunity to tour throughout the US, and soak up influences from artists as diverse as Willie Nelson, Wilco or Jason Isbell, just to mention but a few.

Music

This collection of songs takes listeners on a heartfelt journey through life's ups and downs, celebrating enduring love, resilience, and the beauty of the present moment. From the enduring bond in "You and I" to the triumph of hope in "Because We Can" and the profound devotion in "Like The Day Misses The Sun," these songs weave a tapestry of emotions and experiences that resonate with universal themes of love, longing, and the pursuit of happiness. Through their melodies and lyrics, this collection invites us to cherish the precious moments and relationships that define our lives.
