Danny Gatton, âThe Worldâs Greatest Unknown Guitarist,â combined jazz, rock, country, blues, & rockabilly into dazzling mĂ©langes of sound. A conflicted, paradoxical genius, Danny was a humble man, yet his virtuosity humbled musicians far more famous than he.
âThe Humbler â Danny Gattonâ is an intimate biography, a music history documentary, and a tragic love story about family, music and Americana.
Danny Gatton rarely traveled outside the Maryland/DC area, but through bootleg recordings of his playing, Danny was nicknamed âThe Humbler.â The film is driven by his music.
Danny tells his own story, with help from celebrity admirers, his family, friends and fellow musicians. His musical colleagues include Les Paul, Vince Gill, Joe Bonamassa, Jerry Douglas, Albert Lee, Delbert McClinton, Rodney Crowell, Bill Kirchen, Joey DeFrancesco & more.
Danny was a generous and well-loved man; his life is a portrait of Americana and through his music the history of American music is celebrated!
