Danny Owen Faragher (born May 15, 1947 in Long Beach, California) is an American rock/soul musician and singer and founding member of the bands: The Peppermint Trolley Company, The Faragher Brothers, Bones and The Mark Five.
Danny Faragher's early years were filled with music. He took to it at a very young age and music played an important role in his childhood. In 1965, he and brother, Jimmy Faragher, still in their teens, cut their first records, with Danny’s band, the Mark Five, releasing three singles with Impression Records.
From these garage band beginnings, they evolved into The Peppermint Trolley Company, one of the progenitors of the The West Coast Harmony Sound, which was blossoming in the late Sixties. Their music style is now referred to as sunshine pop, psychedelic rock, or baroque pop. With fellow members, Greg Tornquist and Casey Cunningham, and working with producer Dan Dalton, the Peppermint Trolley Company had a national hit - “Baby You Come Rollin’ Across My Mind“, and released the album, The Peppermint Trolley Company. In addition to his vocal contributions, Faragher was an early user of the clavinet, and played original counter melodies on the trombone.
In 1968 the PTC made numerous TV appearances, including The Beverly Hillbillies, Mannix, Dick Clark’s Happening '68, Upbeat and The Donald O'Connor Show. In early ’69, they recorded the original The Brady Bunch theme song.
