Danny Sheridan is a musician, songwriter, producer, actor, and entertainment manager. In 2006 he also became a radio personality on 97.1 KLSX Free FM (CBS Los Angeles). He is credited as an influential electric bass player, and as the founder of the Eli Radish Band, pioneers of the so-called “outlaw country” music genre, a style that Sheridan’s former bandmate/vocalist David Allan Coe continues to perform today, with a string of hit songs like “Would You Lay with Me ” and the ultimate anti-labor tune, “Take This Job And Shove It”. The lyrics of his "Longhaired Redneck" forever memorialized the concerts he did while fronting the Eli Radish Band.

Danny Sheridan helped launch his then-girlfriend Playboy model Nina Blackwood’s TV career as MTV’s first video jockey (VJ), and in October 1983 US Magazine praised his “astute management” for 'orchestrating her meteoric rise'. In 1988, Danny Sheridan married blues vocalist Bonnie Bramlett of Delaney, Bonnie & Friends On Tour with Eric Clapton fame, soon managing her 1990s career comeback, producing the “Revolutionary Hard Rockin’ Blues” of their group, Bandaloo Doctors. The Doctors music attracted the admiration of many Hollywood celebrities like Tom and Roseanne Arnold and the musical couple was soon cast for several seasons of the hit ABC series Roseanne: Bonnie as a recurring character, with Sheridan writing music. Sheridan went on to act with Pauly Shore.

Sheridan’s many songs have been performed by Bramlett, Coe, Amy Madigan, Nia Peeples, and David Crosby, who sang his “Roll On Down”. Sheridan has also composed for TV and film, notably CHiPs, Fame, and the feature film Gang Related.

In 2004 some of Sheridan's memorabilia was added to the permanent collection of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Sheridan recently began co-producing 'House' re-mixes for Rockstar Supernova's Dilana with Barcelona DJ Franco Munoz and continues to compose for and produce other important musicians and radio shows today, including Nina Blackwood's syndicated Absolutely 80s, New Wave Nation, and her 80s On 8 SiriusXM shows.
