Rehab Bio
The seeds for the band Rehab were planted in Warner Robins, GA in the 1970’s. Danny Boone Alexander was raised in a home where music was always played. Whether he was listening to his very first album, a present from his Poppa, featuring Johnny Paycheck’s “Take This Job and Shove It,” or sitting on the hood of a car on Dunbar Road at the Crazy 8 Race Track and hearing “Sky Rockets in Flight” during the Bicentennial celebration, most of Danny’s earliest memories revolve around music. Although he listened primarily to rock and southern rock for much of his childhood, almost failing fourth grade in his obsession with Kiss, the arrival of the Beastie Boys, Run DMC, and NWA birthed and cemented his love for hip hop. He first rapped at age 15 in the Northside High School gym during a pep rally. Since that first performance, Danny has always worked, in some capacity, to create music.
In Danny’s late teens, he first worked professionally with one of his still close friends, Denny “Steaknife” Campbell. They called their partnership “Prime Suspect.” When they later met Jason Brooks, Rehab was officially born. Steaknife found himself in the legal system and Rehab, as Danny Boone and Jason Brooks, was signed to Epic Records and released “Southern Discomfort” in 2000 which featured Goodie Mob’s Cee-Lo and Big Gipp as well as Cody Chesnutt. The band sold over 140,000 units of the cd and hit the top 15 of the Modern Rock charts with “It Don’t Matter.” They toured nationally in support of the Vans Warped Tour with bands like Linkin' Park and the Kottonmouth Kings.
After Danny Boone and Brooks parted ways due to creative differences, the band was reborn in 2005, and Graffiti the World was recorded with the participation of A-Listers like Bonecrusher, Phil Tan and Billy Hume. The cd was released independently before Danny signed with Universal Records in 2008. Collaboration with Hank Williams Jr. on a remake of Graffiti’s “Sittin’ at a Bar” resulted in a CMT nomination for the Wide-Open Country Video of the year in 2009. Rehab was also featured on Rolling Stone's "Hot List" for that renamed single, “The Bartender Song.” That song, in its different forms, has now gone platinum 6 times over with over 100 million streams of the video.
Rehab is currently touring with Danny Boone on vocals, Doyle Williams on lead guitar, Nate Lee on bass, and Ian Corabi on drums. In 2024, Rehab will hit a variety of cities this year. Hope to see you out there!
