DANNY TRAYNOR-BANDWAGON RED

Danny Traynor has a long history in the music business. In 1971 he formed a local band in Cincinnati, Ohio and played weekly country and rock “gigs” all around the metropolitan area. By 1990, Traynor was living in Nashville and was finding some success in the songwriting area and it was then that songwriting became his true passion. Over the next 2 decades, Traynor sold corporate songs and jingles while still honing his improving songwriter acumen. In 2009, Danny came to the attention of the late and legendary Charlie Craig (over 300 cuts with Alan Jackson, Keith Whitley, Johnny Cash, & Reba to name a few). Together they collaborated on many songs until Charlie’s death in 2011. In 2012, Traynor began to professionally critique songs for many songwriters in the country market. Soon his honest and clear feedback for all levels of songwriters expanded to critiques from all around the world. In the last 3 ½ years, Traynor has critiqued over 2,500 songs from as far away as Australia, India, UK, and Denmark – in addition from nearly every state in the US.  In 2015 Danny put together a partnership of well-known music professionals and named the new company Bandwagon Red.  Today he oversees day to day operations and is involved in nearly every aspect of the company's publishing and artist development business
