DANNY MCCRUM 'HUSTLE BUSTLE

Danny McCrum has released his forth album Hustle Bustle. The new album was recorded in Auckland and L.A. and showcases Danny’s unique and sophisticated songwriting and musicianship. Hustle Bustle is a wild ride; a mix of funk, pop, rock and jazz fused together to create it’s own sound. The lyrics are poignant and bold, the emotions are broad and the musicianship speaks for itself.

"Danny has created a beautiful album of finely-tuned, soul-searching, gut-wrenching rock songs that just drip with mojo and lessons learned! Bang your drum, McCrum!" Tommy Emmanuel

Fave tracks Full Speed Ahead and Mine All Mine… your guitar playing is killer!” Greg Johnson

Danny has managed to craft a collection of songs that demonstrate musicality mixed with pop-esque sensibilities that is not often seen.” Bobby Kennedy (Opshop)
