Professional quality live performance and recordings is the main goal of this enterprise.
Involving many top musicians from the Chicago and Northwest Indiana region has been our pleasure.
Working on writing and recording original music and creating meaningful musical events guides our path.
No, we haven't quit our day jobs yet - but we're working on it. We live for this stuff!
Danny Lemmon - Keyboards: Mainly a piano and organ guy. Well versed in jazz, rock, popular, and country styles.
Vocals: Mature tenor voice. A wide variety of material can be covered. Basically the entire songlists on this website.
Trumpet: Experienced in Orchestral, Brass Quintet, Jazz and Rock styles
Guitar: Just your basic strummer here, but good for acoustic situations and campfires.
Daniel Kent Lemmon - Drums: Strong young player with experience in many styles and venues.
Guitar and bass: Can play well enough to get original musical ideas communicated and recorded.
Keyboards: Always looking for that "special" effect.

I understand the sound player has been off and on recently. I've been updating some revised vesions of previously uploaded songs as well as adding some recently recorded material. I usually avoid posting non-original material to avoid any copyright infringements, however, I've decided to share a few of the recordings from the DannoLemmon quartet that we've made to promote the band for live performances.
The "Hazel Crest" recording is better now, but I did run into a few problems with this project when we switched from PC to MAC recently. I may have to start from scratch on this one. Anyway, it's better than the last version.
The "Number Nine Blacktop " song is almost ready for prime time. I recorded my Uncle Kenny's mandolin track on location in West Frankfort (yes, at his home out on the Number Nine Blacktop).
The "Grass Song" was victim to the computer switch also. We may add some percussion, otherwise this is probably the best we'll get from the basic tracks we were left with.
Well, just trying to learn a little more each day about making the recordings and should have more time to work on new songs now.
Musicians, feel free to send your projects to me via the contacts tab if you care to share.
I'll keep updating the recordings as I go. Feedback is appreciated - especially Specific suggestions for improvement. Thanks for those who have offered suggestions and encouragement.
Still looking for help finding some professional quality recording pre-amps and mics to add to our studio.
Used or on sale - economical is a must. Any clues?
