Among contemporary authors we would like to distinguish Grigory Danskoy, a most uncommon songwriter of today, the creator of his own genre, skillfully combining the influences of the Silver Age poetry, intricate acoustic guitar passages and his splendid moving voice. Danskoy is not interested in gaining mass popularity by means of cold commercial promotion: his songs deserve truly alive audience. His songs are enveloped with wisdom and love for people, tenderness, sadness, and at times with frolic humour wonderfully toning with serious messages.

Danskoy tours much around Russia giving solo concerts and participating in bard and rock festivals, now and then becoming their laureate. He lives in the city of Perm.
