Danny Korzelius

Buffalo, NY born and raised, Danny K is still getting used to the sun and warmth of the south. He plays a little bit of everything, but ask him for a little fiddle music if you see him at the club. He loves Jagermeister and Firefly. Impressions are his favorite things to do. Just ask about his Joe Cocker. Jager. A musical theater guy at heart, he isn't afraid to act the fool to entertain. Firefly. "Whatever it takes to loosen the crowd up and entertain the heck out of them...as long as it's legal." Well, as long as he has tips....or Jager...or Firefly.
