How It All Began
Denny began playing guitar in 1949. He taught himself how to play the hard way…listening to songs on the radio and practicing hours every day. Years later he began writing his own material getting local air play and at the age of 15 had the #1 song in the 4 state area.
Over the next decade he put together several well known local bands…“The Devilles“ and “The Eccentrics.” When looking for a guitar player for the Eccentrics Denny discovered Rick Evans and soon after they formed their own duo “Zager & Evans“ who produced “In The Year 2525.”
Denny simply loved playing guitar and performing was an avenue that allowed him to do it. Unfortunately Denny was never comfortable in the spotlight which is why he retired from performing and began doing what he loved most …creating music and showing others how to do it.
