Danny Clinch's connection to Blind Melon is that he toured with them and took many photographs of the band. Many of his photos of Shannon are well known to Blind Melon fans (such as the cover of the 'Nico' album). He would also accompany the band with harmonica on occasion. His world of rock n roll photography extends far beyond that of Blind Melon, but Blind Melon fans will always be especially grateful to him for capturing such a special time during Blind Melon's history. Danny Clinch started his career in photography by being an intern for famous rock n roll photographer, Annie Leibovitz. He has published two books of photographs: "Discovery Inn" (1998) A collection of photography: Blind Melon, David Byrne, Phish, Pearl Jam, Johnny Cash, TuPac Shakur, etc. "When the Iron Bird Flies" (2000) Which is a book about the Tibetan Freedom Concerts In 2002, he made a documentary about Ben Harper called "Pleasure and Pain". www.imdb.com/title/tt0344212In 2003, Danny Clinch formed "Three On a Tree Productions", a film company based in New York City. threeonthetree.comIn 2007, Three On a Tree Productions released "Immagine in Cornice", which documented Pearl Jam's tour through Italy on their 2006 European tour. www.imdb.com/title/tt1169158Danny Clinch's Filmography on IMDB:www.imdb.com/name/nm0166809Other Links: www.thebluedot.com/clinch/index0.htmlHere are some pictures taken by Danny Clinch at Bonnaroo 2007: www.bonnaroo.com/media/photo/2007-photos-by-danny-clinch.aspxmore Bonnaroo pics (not sure which year): pdngallery.com/cobrand/nikonnet/ontheroad/clinch/index.htmlYou can also see many of Danny Clinch's photos at the Morrison Hotel Gallery: www.morrisonhotelgallery.com/photographer/default.aspx?photographerID=25This page has some of his photos as well: www.temple.edu/photo/photographers/clinch/danny.htmlAnd spinner.com has 25 of Danny Clinch's photos.

I think his work is amazing. I was upset that I didn't get a chance to talk him after the Canal Room show in October. I have his Discovery Inn. Just amazing!!!

Don't forget this (never-to-be) famous photo by Danny, when I shoved Joel's camera into his hands after the Canal Room show. The more I look at it, the more I see its brilliance. At first I thought he just snapped it, but look at the framing of the blue scaffolding, and the capturing of Colleen at "the Decisive Moment." I'm honestly thrilled to have my very own DC pic!

and here he is onstage at Canal Room, NYC, from Joel's photos: oh, what I wouldn't give for that old-school Melon shirt...(well, not that exact one, 'cause its all sweaty, and Danny probably really likes it, but one of the same design, in my size)

I was actually going through some of his pictures on his website a few days ago. I love his work - and I think he shot some of the best pictures of Blind Melon ever.

Those are great pics Doug. You're lucky to have an official Danny Clinch.

I really love his work. He has had such an amazing life...could you imagine meeting some of the people he has? Or playing Woodstock with Blind Melon? Wow is all I can say!

I love Danny and have been fortunate enough to sit and talk with him a few times backstage at Bonnaroo. The picture of Shannon from the cover of Discovery Inn is in my sig (as are quite a few of Danny's other pictures).
