Danny Gatton, “The World’s Greatest Unknown Guitarist,” combined jazz, rock, country, blues, & rockabilly into dazzling mélanges of sound. A conflicted, paradoxical genius, Danny was a humble man, yet his virtuosity humbled musicians far more famous than he.
“The Humbler – Danny Gatton” is an intimate biography, a music history documentary, and a tragic love story about family, music and Americana. Danny Gatton rarely traveled outside the Maryland/DC area, but through bootleg recordings of his playing, Danny was nicknamed “The Humbler.” The film is driven by his music.
Danny tells his own story, with help from celebrity admirers, his family, friends and fellow musicians. His musical colleagues include Les Paul, Vince Gill, Joe Bonamassa, Jerry Douglas, Albert Lee, Delbert McClinton, Rodney Crowell, Bill Kirchen, Joey DeFrancesco & more.
