Dan seems to have a good thing going - gaining fans with every performance, he and his band are slowly working their way from Vancouver to the depths of your listening environment. With thoughtful delivery (think M. Ward, The Frames), Dan's graveled sweetness serves as a foundation for layers of intricate instrumentation - blending the finer aspects of indie rock with the unadulterated spirit of traditional folk.
With a deep respect for creative integrity, Dans focus from day one has been to write lyrics strong enough to stand alone, apart from the melody. His maturity as a lyricist is refreshing, his song-writing is powerful and his presence is undeniable. Tell your friends, tell your mom, you can even tell your dog, just tell somebody.
