Don Henry - Danny Flowers, Craig Carothers LIVE See their poster HERE


Danny Flowers  ( Danny.s myspace)
UPDATED AND CORRECTED info on Danny (24 June 2008)
Danny Flowers may be best known for having penned classic hits for other artists, but as a solo artist his bluesy blend of raw emotion combined with a heartfelt yearning will speak to your very soul. Danny’s instrumentality has also earned him a high level of notoriety in the industry. 

Eric Clapton said, “I think this [music] is tremendous.  I consider Danny a good friend and a great musician in the truest, old school country-rock style.  There is just not enough of this kind of stuff around any more.” 

More quotes on Danny >>>>>HERE>>>>

Flowers’ writing credits span several genres and his flexibility as a guitarist and wordsmith is well-known. He penned “Tulsa Time” for Eric Clapton, which Don Williams also cut.  Williams then had hits with “Back In My Younger Days,” “Senorita,” and “To Be Your Man.”  Emmylou Harris recorded “Before Believing” as the title cut for her Pieces Of The Sky album. “Gulf Coast Highway” was recorded by Emmylou and Willie Nelson as well as by Nanci Griffith and Evangeline. The list goes on.

With all this under his belt, Flowers still manages to maintain the poise and humility of a Zen master while tossing off riffs with incredible taste and feeling reminiscent of Ry Cooder’s gospel-like grooves with the slide guitar virtuosity and delicate upper-register vocal vibratos of David Lindley.

Danny Flower’s latest release is the critically acclaimed “Tools For the Soul”, his stunning debut on Brash Records and available now.

2 August Saturday - Song Writers in the round and buffet featuring Randy Sharp, Pam Rose, and Maia Sharp.

Pam Rose (1/2 of Kennedy Rose) will be returning to Balsam Mountain Inn (to a sold out show). Although classically trained, she has never betrayed her roots in acoustic rock and folk, nor her Southern soul. "I never thought there was much difference between a Taj Mahal blues riff or Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings," says Rose. "I think they are equally evocative." This amazing singer/songwriter has joined folks like Emmylou Harris, Tommy Emmanuel and Sting onstage. She’s written hits such as: Safe In the Arms of Love, Ring On Her Finger, Time On Her Hands, I’ll Still Be Loving You. MORE ON PAM >>>
