Danny’s dad was the late Blake Stiltner, who was a well known bass player, who, not only the locals longed to have play bass for their band, but also bands as well known as Carter Stanley, who propositioned him to leave Elkhorn City and join his band on the road.

Danny has played bass over the years with numerous Bluegrass Bands. He recorded his first 45 record at 15 years of age, with some local friends from Virginia. He then moved on to play with various Bluegrass artists throughout the years, Gurney Adkins, Robert Shepard, Bob Adkins, Larry Fuller, Dave Evans and Wendell Barley, just to name a few.

Shelly keeps the whole family busy with her extra curricular activities and her love of cheerleading. His wife Patty tries to keep them all in line, while lending her support for all their interests.
