Danny has been unable to attend the Last Call Jam in Tarzana, CA for several months due to his heavy gigging schedule. However, he recently attended and performed at the jam for ‘Glam Metal Night’, and it was indeed glamorous. Danny enjoyed the reunion with so many talented and kind friends and peers, and he stated, “The vibe there is always so supportive and fun, and the performances were off the chain! I’m always comfortable in a room full of weirdos.”.
Danny Knapp and all the members of Maiden United were honored to be the first Iron Maiden tribute ever to take the stage at Rock & Brews in the Yaamava Casino and Resort. Danny mentioned, “Much thanks to the killer sound crew and staff, and most of all, to the best fans that a band could ask for — there’s nothing better than an audience full of Maiden fans up against the stage, chanting along, knowing every song word-for-word. Y’all ROCK!”.
