Hey there, I’m Danny Beach! Picture this: You’re chilling at your favorite spot, and who’s strumming that guitar, making you tap your feet? That’s right, it’s me! I’ve been playing my heart out at restaurants, Tiki bars, and all sorts of shindigs in Southwest Florida for over 20 years.
Home is where the heart is, and mine’s anchored right in Charlotte Harbor, Florida. I’ve rocked venues all the way from St. Pete to Naples, and let me tell you, it’s been one heck of a ride. I’m not just any musician; I’ve got a guitar that practically plays itself, a voice that’ll serenade you, and a harmonica that’s as sweet as Florida oranges. Need some chill vibes or a rockin’ night? I’m your guy! I’ve got all the tunes we all love – from James Taylor to ZZ Top – and I’m all about those special requests.
Here’s a fun fact: I used to fight fires in Washington D.C.! Now, I’ve swapped my firefighter boots for a captain’s hat, mastering the seas around the Gulf of Mexico when I’m not jamming out.
Want to catch me live? Swing by places like the Sandbar in Englewood, or maybe find me at Twisted Fork in Port Charlotte. I’m all over the place, including Punta Gorda’s finest spots like Harpoon Harry’s. So, come on down, bring your friends, and let’s have a blast with some great music. Can’t wait to see ya!

Kenny Rose is a singer/songwriter from a little town in Michigan called Union Lake. He worked at his family car business as he and his bride raised their 4 children. Though the business was good to them, he always had the dream of some day playing music for a living. That dream came true in 2004 when they sold the business and Kenny and Tammy moved to Florida’s gulf coast, settling in another little town called Englewood. He has been “living the dream” ever since and his songwriting reflects that lifestyle.
His first C.D. “Take A Chance” was released in 2004. The music on this all original C.D. was more in the pop contemporary feel. As he began living in Florida his songs took on a much more Trop Rock feel, and his second C.D. “Sunshine State of Mind” released in April 2010 certainly reflects that. All but one of the tracks are original compositions, and his songs “Driving Down Here is Driving me to Drinking” and “The Grandparent’s Song” have become staples in the area. He also has had 3 of his songs in a motion picture that was available on Amazon prime for a few years.
Kenny’s shows can be very interactive if the crowd is right for it, handing out percussion instruments and getting everyone to sing along is his favorite thing to do. He has an over 300 song repertoire and he hands out books so the crowd can see what he plays and ask for requests. He doesn’t use any backing tracks or pre recorded music, so he can be spontaneous and go wherever the crowd wants him to go! His mic and guitar are wireless so he is free to roam around and get everyone involved. He is enjoying his musical life and plays 5 to 7 shows a week in the Englewood and Venice area, playing mostly covers of 60’s and 70’s songs, however with 300 songs you can be sure he has a few from most era’s that you’ll know. Known as one of the “hardest working musicians in town” Kenny just laughs and says “I play music, keyword is PLAY.”

Gary Ray Harvey, born and raised in Amarillo, Texas has played guitar with a variety of artists including Jim Morris and the Big Bamboo Band, The Platters, The Coasters, Jimmy Collins and he has performed at Farm Aid with Willie Nelson. Gary, as lead guitar player, could be heard and seen in the music video for the hit single “I Love Texas” in 1991. Gary has written and performed many original songs including “911,” his heartfelt reaction to the catastrophe on September 11, 2001, which received global acclaim. Through radio play and broadcast interviews, Gary has developed a loyal and dedicated fan base, which has only grown since joining forces with Kerri. Gary has performed in forty two states and over twenty-five countries during the past twenty-five years.
Kerri Lynn, a Florida transplant from New Jersey, started her singing career in her church’s choir and has since catapulted into the top 40 scene. While singing backup for Rod Stewart, performing the National Anthem for thousands in packed arenas, she still found the time to perform with various local & regional variety/show bands. Her 21 year career with Gary has allowed her to further develop herself as a singer. With diverse vocal ability, she can be heard singing anything from Patsy Cline to Lady Gaga as well as the multitude of original songs that she and Gary have written.
Gary and Kerri started performing together in 2004 mainly in Southwest Florida, but their talent and determination have taken them on a whirlwind of diverse and exciting performance adventures throughout the United States. Gary & Kerri are the perfect duo for fairs/festivals, private events, corporate functions or virtually any other event.
In November, 2007 the two answered a request to enter "Can You Duet," a contest hosted by CMT in association with "American Idol" producers. In December, 2007 they produced a dvd and submitted it to the California office, in return, Gary and Kerri were invited to come perform live in Nashville, TN.
As of September, 2008, Gary & Kerri have recorded "911 / National Anthem," "Live At The Southwick Inn" and "Nice to Meet You," and now, their most recent single "Ain't No Doubt".
Today they have well over 5000 performances together as a dynamic duo.
