Next To Famous: My Life..., Before I Forget It!

Danny Crooks is an open-book enigma. He’s a mystery, yet wears his heart on his sleeve. The music impresario of 6th Street in Austin, TX has “developed” more musicians than the law should allow. And although his dream boat, Steamboat, no longer exists, his heart is still in the music that made it great. A difficult childhood hasn’t stopped the man that brought Music to 6th Street. Danny outran the demons from his childhood, proving that “if you WANT a good life badly enough, you can accomplish anything!” He has passed that mantra on to every one of the bands that came to Steamboat, looking for the opportunity to prove themselves. Every budding musician felt he or she was going to be the next Beatle. But only if Danny “felt” their music, did they get the chance to become famous. Danny Crooks lives in Buda, Texas with his wife, Leslie, and their musician son, Sean.
