Danny grew up in South Central Kentucky playing everything from Bluegrass to
Country to Classical to Rock and Roll. After playing in assorted bands in
Kentucky, Danny made his way to Texas in 1980. Danny did a couple years touring with Jerry Jeff Walker as his road manager. He began writing and playing his own music as a part of the Austin music scene and by the early 1990s was performing on a regular basis.
Danny has performed around the country on shows with the likes of Guy Clark,
Jerry Jeff Walker, John McCutcheon, Chris Smither, Bruce Robison, Nina Gerber, Kelly Willis, Chris Wall, Greg Trooper, The Dixie Chicks, and many others.
In 2000 Danny and business partner Rene’ Loflin formed their own record company, Red Dawg Music. Their Publishing Company is Austin Red Dawg Publishing.
Danny’s 1st original work was released in April 2001 titled "Danny Britt and Red Dawg - Texas Stuff." This work was noted in Performing Songwriter Magazine and reviewed in Sing Out Magazine in 2001. "Texas Stuff" was also reviewed in Roots Town Magazine in 2002. Long time Austin touring musician and producer Marvin Dykhuis produced this recording. It is a collection of some of Danny’s favorite original songs that take the listener on a tour of several different kinds of music while maintaining a unique acoustic sound.
