‘Hi, I’m Dan. I’m a whiskey & beer drinking, fishing & hunting loving, motorcycle riding, quality food eating, hippie
sympathizing, hobby farm running, people loving, husband &
father who lives in Minneapolis and shares a life with my amazing
wife and two adorable sons named Oak and Alder.

I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, MI, and moved to Minneapolis when I was 18 to study music, and I stayed because
I’m one of those crazy people that enjoys the snow and cold weather.

Songwriting, and performing those songs for people, is both my trade and my passion. When I’m not in my studio writing and
cutting records, or on the road playing shows, I’m usually playing
in the woods with our boys, tending to our backyard chickens,
eating fresh veggies from my wife’s huge garden, making syrup
from our maple grove, or doing one of my many outdoor
hobbies.

Now here are a few things about my music career that I should probably share in a music bio:
• In September 2014 Budweiser released their “Friends Are Waiting” commercial campaign featuring me singing my song
When You Come Home and it premiered during both The World Series & The Super Bowl.
• In February, 2018, I released my album 25 Years and the title
track is now inching toward 1 million listens.
• In October, 2018, Miller Lite featured my newest single “So
Good” in one of their commercials that played for months during
NFL games on ESPN & more.
• In March, 2019, my song “You Feel Like Home” was featured in
Explore Minnesota Tourism’s newest ad campaign.
• In 2022 I released my album Troubadour Family Man. It’s my
debut self-produced record and I couldn’t be more proud of it.
• Over the years I’ve had the honor of sharing the stage with
some really cool artists & bands including The Civil Wars, Andy
Grammer, Eric Hutchinson, Matt Nathanson, NeedtoBreathe, Augustana, Tyrone Wells, O.A.R., Haley Reinhart, Jon McLaughlin,
Will Hoge, Drew Holcomb, Sister Hazel, and more.

Welcome to The Land of Ozz! An extraordinary experience paying tribute to “The Prince of Darkness” – Ozzy Osbourne. The band consists of seasoned Philadelphia area musicians each with 35+ years of stage and touring experience which they bring to the stage every performance.

GREEN JELLŸ is a Grammy, Billboard & MTV award nominated Punk Rock Puppet band from Kenmore NY formed in 1981 by founder, vocalist & co- songwriter Punk Rock Pope BILL MANSPEAKER. ‘Three Little Pigs’ broke the record for the most requested video in MTV’s history

The goal was to mask the lack of talent with an over the top show full of wild and crazy characters, props, and punk rock puppets, that would make you forget about the lack of talent. Due to pressure Kraft Foods, Green Jello changed their name to Green Jelly in the early 90’s, however the pronunciation was still the same. Green Jelly also holds the Guiness World Book of Records for the most band members… ever… with well over 1000 members worldwide
