We just completed another circuit around the sun, which means I’m another year older, wiser, more rambunctious, and even more dedicated toward making time for the important things in life, like playing music. Although I didn’t post very often here on my music blog during 2022, (I tend to be much more active on my Instagram channel), 2022 was a pretty eventful year for me in the music realm. I released a handful of new songs, played a few gigs, and, of course, added a number of items to the ever-growing musical arsenal of gear that I collect from my local music stores. In chronological order, h ..read more

I’m excited to announce that I have a brand new single coming out in April, called Interstellar Love Song. A modern rock love song that crosses the bounds of space, time and pop culture references, this fun, upbeat track features a thick bed of buzzy, delay-soaked synthesizers, a catchy chorus and lots of guitars. Fueled by a memorable synth riff that I came up with last fall, I quickly created a demo version of the song and wrote the initial framework of the chorus while walking to one of my shoulder physical therapy appointments in the snow. After finishing the lyrics this spring, I recorde ..read more

We’re only ten days out from Christmas, so I figured it was time to get into the holiday spirit here on my music blog. During the past few years, I’ve recorded a handful of Christmas songs, including two originals. I did A Very Cozy Christmas last year, with an accompanying music video that I think came out really well! This was my response to Christmas 2020, when very few of us were able to travel and see our loved ones in person for last year’s holidays. The song was very well received, and it’s even Fender approved!! Nice work, Dan! — Fender (@Fender) December 22, 2020 Santa, What’s in ..read more
