When I started my business career, I’d see people shaking in their shoes to even speak in front of a group, and I was glad I had that experience (as I’m sure Danny did) so early in life. And this is kind of an amusing one, when you go to a church like that, you get used to walking in the door and being hugged half to death by a nice lady who then passes you off to the next one, from one end of the place to the other. I have noticed that Danny is very comfortable engaging with his fans, seemingly more so than the others, and I suspect that this early experience helped him out there too!

That is kind of an amusing one. Coming from such a big family as one of the younger children may have helped Danny in that respect, too.

for this gig its strictly a ‘nice job’  and absolutely nothing earth shattering.

This was a nice appearance for Danny, he got some good promotion for it out of the Bucks machine, and he did well. But I wouldn’t characterize it as earth shattering either . I don’t think anyone has. (Nor do I recall the earth shattering in other AI8 NA performances this year, really. Just walked my dog, the earth really looked ok. lol.)

It was the Milwaukee Bucks hometown opening game, however, not just a random game during the season, and anytime one of these aspiring new artists (none of them have established careers yet from AI8) has a chance to the featured performer for a crowd of 10,000-20,000 peeps seems to me that’s a good thing.

In Danny’s case, they were keeping things pretty well locked down in the first month or so of his process recording with RCA Nashville. Last weekend’s appearance seems to be part of a strategy where Danny is now out and about for more public performances, interviews and other appearances that presumably will continue to ramp up building toward the release of his single in December. The report of an upcoming radio tour would seem to fit with that sort of strategy.
