Bio

Danny Whitecotton, a seasoned singer-songwriter with multiple albums to his name, has evolved from an apprentice to an artisan of heartfelt storytelling through music. Inspired by the rich narratives of Southern Gothic literature, particularly Cormac McCarthy, his "Outer Orchard" EP wove tales that resonated deeply.

In his latest EP, "You and I," Danny embraces spontaneity, crafting songs in mere weeks, capturing the raw essence of the moment. These compositions celebrate enduring love, reflecting its growth and transformation as two souls weather life's storms together. Notable tracks like "Because We Can" and "Like The Day Misses The Sun" reveal poignant stories of real world relationships.

Danny's music connects with those who understand love's intricate dance, and he aspires to reach a wider audience, promising more heartfelt tales in the future.

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.
