Danny Beirne hasn't added a story.
Hello! My name is Danny Beirne and I play piano, sing, and write songs. Many of you may know me from my long running Virginia-based rock’n’roll band, Skip Castro.
One day in September, 2017, the woman who’d been my lady and life partner for 13 years, KT Prudhon, came home from work and said “I’m moving to Las Vegas to be closer to my family and I hope you’ll join me, but I understand if you don’t.”
I immediately thought of the age old question, “Know what a musician is without a girlfriend?” Answer: “Homeless!”
So we found ourselves happily living out our semi-retirement years in the desert, with me flying back to the east coast periodically to play choice Skip Castro, Danny Beirne Band, and solo gigs 7-10 times a year. Life was grand.
Then, on Oct 18, 2022, the unthinkable happened.
Katie had a sudden accident and she left the planet… and me.
In the months that followed, I struggled through grief, loneliness, and loss to keep my routine going and develop a new following in Vegas. But the constant travel back east for Skip shows wore on my health. And the rising cost of living: groceries, fuel, rental cars, and airfare wore on my wallet.
All that said, I’ve made the decision to move back and I’m going to need a lot of help to do it.
On top of the financial challenges, I’m currently suffering
from an inguinal hernia and two lame shoulder rotator cuffs,
severely limiting me physically.
So… with your generous assistance, I’m hopeful I can raise funds for:
• moving labor (in Vegas and the east coast)
•moving van rental
•shipping my personal/touring vehicle and other personal effects
•fuel
•4-5 nights hotels
•meals and other travel expenses
•first month’s rent and deposit money, plus utilities
•cleaning service for the home I’m leaving
•moving supplies
•other incidental expenses
With my physical limitations, moving labor on both ends are a must.
I live on a fixed income, so it won’t be easy to rent a new place without regular employment. In the past, I’ve had to pay multiple months’ rent in advance, plus a security deposit.
And that’s why I’m hoping my friends and fans who want me back in Virginia will understand my predicament and help with what they can afford.
So everybody! Please help me out!
And please, please TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!
Thank you,
Danny
