Danny Paul Grody

Danny Paul Grody is a solo musician and founding member of San Francisco-based bands Tarentel and The Drift . He is a self taught guitarist, and the melodies at the core of Danny’s songwriting bring to mind his love of folk music, Takoma-style fingerpicking, and all things minimal, repetitive and hypnotic. His first solo album, Fountain, was released in 2010 followed up by full-length releases on labels including Students of Decay, Three Lobed Recordings, Geographic North, and Australias Longform Editions. On his 2023 release Arc of Day Danny Paul Grody gathered an ensemble of musicians and gave us compositions that conjured not just bird-like flights but the supportive skeleton of a bird itself - intricate, delicate, but able to carry a body (or a listener) through bright, airy spaces. That same ensemble, since renamed the Danny Paul Grody Duo, now bring us Arc of Night - a sister collection to "Arc Of Day", shaped from core collaborations between Grody and percussionist/drummer Rich Douthit along with additions on select tracks from Trevor Montgomery on electric bass and Chuck Johnson on pedal steel guitar.
