439 - Danny Banks: Playing with Nicole Atkins, Being Part of Howard Grimes' Legacy, Being a Memphis Drummer by Choice

Danny is originally from the Boston area but has called Memphis home for the last decade, where his main gig is touring with Nicole Atkins. He has toured with John Paul Keith and John Nemeth, and is active in Memphis’s many recording studios.

In this episode, Danny talks about:

• Being an opening act for major headliners
• How Memphis provides ample opportunities to record in proper studios, so Danny hasn't set up a home rig
• How he was able to keep gigging remotely during Covid
• Mentoring under Howard Grimes and his contribution to the Memphis sound
• His appearance on Letterman as an 11-year-old prodigy
