Danny Gatton - Sleepwalk
Who is Danny Gatton? If you are a guitarist, you probably already know.
A native of Washington, D.C., Danny Gatton’s mastery of blues, jazz, rock, country, bluegrass and rockabilly so overwhelmed other guitarists, they called him “The Humbler.”
Our film is the first in-depth exploration of the life, music and legacy of a troubled genius. Though he never got the accolades he deserved during his short life, Danny was often called "The World's Greatest Unknown Guitarist".
Music brings so much joy and solace to our lives yet the life of a professional musician is not an easy one. There are many music documentaries about famous musicians but not many about underground guitar heroes like Danny that never went mainstream.
The film contains never-before-seen concert footage, as well as exclusive interviews with Danny and some of his admirers—Les Paul, Vince Gill, Joe Bonamassa, Albert Lee, Rodney Crowell, Bill Kirchen, Jack Casady, Joey DeFrancesco, Delbert McClinton, Arlen Roth, …and many others.
Danny Gatton was loved and revered by his peers. Every day we hear from fans around the world who want to celebrate the life of Danny Gatton and ensure his legacy!
The film spans Danny’s life from 1964 -1994 and it is a blend of rare archival footage with contemporary interviews, graphics and imagery.
