Danny Skeel's Music

Danny Skeel, born Daniel Skeel in Lexington, KY, found his love for music at an early age. His family relocated to Pensacola, FL, where his earliest musical memories were shaped by his father, Dan Skeel, playing old Mississippi John Hurt songs on the guitar. By the third grade, Danny was already enamored with his heroes—Prince and Guns N’ Roses—setting him on the path to a future in music.

As a teenager, Danny was an avid skateboarder, but a severe knee injury brought his skating days to an end. During his recovery, he picked up an old guitar his father had from college and a copy of Introduction to Electric Guitar by Peter Vogel. What began as a way to pass the time during rehabilitation became an obsession, with Danny devoting countless hours to practicing and perfecting his craft.

Over the years, Danny’s musical journey took him from acoustic duos, such as Front Porch, to solo gigs in Myrtle Beach, and eventually to forming his first band, TCU. It was with TCU that he gained his first glimpse into the music industry and learned what it takes to turn a passion for music into a career.

Danny later joined the Marsha Morgan Band, where he gained invaluable experience and developed a strong work ethic. He also met lifelong friend David Austin during this time. Returning to North Carolina, Danny founded Jukebox Revolver, a powerhouse band that continues to captivate audiences with energetic live shows. With bassist Jeff Hatley on board, Jukebox Revolver has become a staple of the local music scene. You can learn more about them at jukeboxrevolver.net.

During the pandemic, Danny revisited his acoustic roots and was inspired by looping artists, reigniting his interest in loopers. This led to the creation of his current solo acoustic shows, where he blends guitar, bass, and harmonies to deliver a rich, full-band sound. Today, Danny performs solo during the week and plays almost exclusively with Jukebox Revolver on weekends.
