With over 61 years of guitar mastery, Denny’s musical journey began with woodwinds and vocal training in a renowned Boy’s Choir. His love for the guitar was sparked by watching Les Paul and Mary Ford perform at the McKean County Fair in his native Pennsylvania, and in 1964, inspired by the Beatles’ groundbreaking appearance on Ed Sullivan, he reclaimed his mother’s violin and began strumming—leading to the purchase of his first guitar.

Throughout his illustrious career, Denny has graced countless stages, played in various bands, and rubbed shoulders with some of the music industry’s biggest names. For fifty years of Christian ministry, he’s used his guitar as a powerful tool to share messages of hope and inspiration, earning him the affectionate moniker “Rock-n-Roll Preacher.” His heartfelt mission is simple: to touch your heart and uplift your spirit.

In July 2017, Denny released his album “Songs of Faith and Family,” a collection of 16 original tracks penned over years of personal milestones—from his engagement to Diane to the joy of welcoming his grandchildren.

As a solo artist, Denny’s dynamic set list features hits from the 1950s and 1960s alongside contemporary favorites, blending classic rock, pop, country, gospel, patriotic tunes, and his own original compositions. He also brings his signature style to the stage with the group “Echoes of Time,” performing classic rock and doo-wop that captivate audiences every time.
