about
Reverend Baron is American artist Danny Garcia. Danny Garcia nosegrinded into the southern California skateboarding scene during the late ’90s, quickly making appearances in professional videos and earning sponsorships from big names like Quiksilver, etc. Now the local favorite nicknamed DGar has added another, more musical moniker: Reverend Baron. His music takes on darker folk qualities, with dreamy melodies supporting tales of broken love and everyday hardships. Another skateboarder-turned-songwriter. “I've always played music,” Garcia explains, but “the last 10 years have been a little more (devoted) to playing with different people and learning different things, and advance myself in a different direction. When i was young, i watched skate videos all the time,” he recalls. “at that point, the ’90s and early 2000s, Skateboarding videos didn’t have to get rights to use music, because they were all small-scale – they just got away with it. They could just use anything, so i heard Van Morrison’s stuff and the bands Love, Cream and things like that.There’s no reason for that name,” he says. “I think Matt Costa thought of it. I think we were just talking about making a record, just recording a group of songs. That idea was just a name for a project. The name is one thing, but you end up defining it. You end up making it. so it could be whatever it is.” User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
