Album Notes

Out of Nebraska comes a singer-songwriter with Revolver-esque pop/rock sensibilities. Audiences have dubbed his music “thought rock,” which, according to fans, “sounds like cinnamon rolls taste!”

On his album, I AM MERELY SAND, Daniel can be heard singing (of course), and drumming (his first love), as well as playing guitars, percussion, and keyboard instruments. He is joined on guitar by Nashville session player Pat Bergeson, protégé of legendary guitarist Chet Atkins. Formerly with Alison Krauss and Kenny Rogers, Bergeson has been heard with JoDee Messina, Roy Clark, Dolly Parton, and most recently with Annie Sellick, Lyle Lovett, and Randy Travis.

Another session professional, Charlie Chadwick, performs bass guitar responsibilities, and engineers the album. Chadwick, who has been heard with Pam Tillis, Crystal Gayle, Steve Earle, John Jorgenson, Bela Fleck, and David Lee Roth (to name a few), has just earned his second Grammy® Award for his work on Peter Frampton’s Fingerprints project.
