Album 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.
