A Cakewalk pro-user since the Pro Audio days, Danny was looking for a new controller to use in his SONAR-outfitted studio. After many years producing his music with the Roland JP-1000 and then with an Alesis Mixer, Klein started to seek other alternatives. Since it&#8217;s a controller dedicated to SONAR and would speed up his workflow without the aid of a mouse, Danny knew he just had to get the SONAR V-Studio 700!<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I use SONAR V-Studio 700 because of the quality of the system (and the quality and reliability of Cakewalk \/ Roland products), the many features at a reasonable price, the ease of setting up and using the system and the seamless integration with my SONAR 8 Producer, making this system all I need to make professional recordings in my home studio.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<ul><a href=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/danny-klein-early-days1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2295\" title=\"danny-klein-early-days1\" src=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/danny-klein-early-days1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/ul>\n<p>Danny Klein grew up in New Jersey and came to Massachusetts to study at Worcester Polytechnical Institute in the 1960&#8217;s. While attending WPI, he befriended J. Geils and Magic Dick, who taught Klein how to play a washtub bass. The trio formed the \u2018J Geils Blues Band&#8217;. Eventually they hooked up with ex-Hallucinations percussionist Stephen Jo Bladd and his vocalist, Peter Wolf, as well as keyboardist \/ songwriter Seth Justman&#8230; thus setting the stage for 17 successful years touring as the &#8216;J. Geils Band&#8217; from Boston.<\/p>\n<p>The group recorded 17 albums and toured with the Rolling Stones, releasing such hits as &#8216;Centerfold&#8217; and &#8216;Freeze Frame&#8217;. In February 2009, J. Geils Band reunited for the grand opening of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boston.com\/ae\/music\/articles\/2009\/02\/20\/j_geils_band_rocks_the_house\/\" target=\"_blank\">House of Blues-Boston<\/a> and played two sold out shows at the Fillmore Theater in Detroit. Currently, the band is leaving the door open to new opportunities, hoping to play together again, soon.<\/p>\n<p>In 1994, Danny founded the blues band &#8216;Stone Crazy&#8217; (produced by J. Geils). The group released its first 14-track, self-entitled album in 2005 and performed its &#8216;bluesy grooves&#8217; at select clubs throughout New England.<\/p>\n<ul><a href=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/danny-klein-full-house.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2293\" title=\"danny-klein-full-house\" src=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/danny-klein-full-house-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"269\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a><\/ul>\n<p>Danny&#8217;s latest project, &#8216;Danny Klein&#8217;s Full House Band,&#8217; is a group of Boston&#8217;s well known and most talented musicians who come together to celebrate the music of the J.Geils band. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dannykleinsfullhouse.com\" target=\"_blank\">Danny Klein&#8217;s Full House Band<\/a> performs at many charitable events throughout the Boston area.<\/p>\n<p>We congratulate Danny on all of his accomplishments and hope he enjoys working in studio with the new SONAR V-Studio 700!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a few weeks ago, Cakewalk&#8217;s Zac Kenney met up with Boston-based bassist Danny Klein at Guitar Center-Boston to pick up his SONAR V-Studio 700.
