notes

Dan's distinctive and unique style has caught the attention and admiration of many listeners.

Born in 1948 in the small Southern California community of Azusa, he was drawn to the piano at the early age of 4.

While serving in the U.S. Navy from 1967-1973 during the Vietnam era, Dan formed a five-piece band that would perform for his crewmates, as well as performing for crews from other ships. It was a real moral booster during those long periods away from home.

After touring the U.S. for 10 years as a musical arranger and pianist in show bands, Dan settled in San Diego where he joined forces with 3 top notch musicians. This group was well received and quickly built a strong following. It is also where he met his best friend & soul mate, his wonderful wife Janice. They were married in San Diego in 1986 & shortly thereafter relocated to Lake Tahoe.

In his extensive career are a number of long-term musical engagements at some of Lake Tahoe's finest, award-winning restaurants. He performed concerts with the Jordanaires (the original back-up vocalists for Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, & Rick Nelson.) He was also asked to perform in Australia for school children, many of whom had never heard a piano played before.

Dan's music has been used for special events, documentaries, as well as video and television productions featured on networks such as The Learning Channel, Discovery, VH1, & others.

 Honored as the composer for Concourse D'Elegance, an award-winning cinematography project filmed at Lake Tahoe.
 Awarded Billboard Magazine's Certificate of Achievement for an original composition entitled "Reach for the Stars." This beautiful song was composed as a theme for a play premiering in Lake Tahoe.
 Special Mention as "New Age Artist" in Billboard Magazine.
 Featured in numerous articles in industry publications
 Composed main theme songs for two television pilots.
 Received Honor Award from The Great American Song Contest for: Theme for Janice.

    The Gift is a lovely CD that provides relaxing background music for entertaining, or simply soothing your day. Dan has generated a number of pieces beyond the treasure of The Gift that he shared with us when we met. Simply wonderful… Sean and Grace Quinlan - Oakland, California

    author: Mr. & Mrs. Manuel Nino

    Dan's music stirs the heart and soul to dream; to dance; to create with the mind. It's like watching a fantastic movie with beautiful imagery, then inviting it all to fall gently and deliciously into ones being. O so lovely!

  • Just so beautiful & peaceful.
    author: Roy & Christine Sprong

    We have been honoured to have met Dan & his wife Janice personally whilst they were touring Perth Western Australia. Dan's music is a real blessing and has been a source of conversation at many of our dinner parties & lazy evenings on the patio. We look forward to many more of Dan's beautiful, inspiring music that soothes the soul.
