Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, Dan’s musical influences ranged from Motown to the British invasion.

From the early days of garage, party, and club bands, he has always approached his playing with a passion and reverence for the greats.

As well as handling both the lead and rhythm guitar duties, plus the lead and backing vocals in many of the bands and projects over the years. The past nine years, Dan has held one of the lead and rhythm guitar and vocal positions in the Detroit Music Award winning band, Magic Bus, which has been one of the top-rated Michigan tribute bands over a fifteen-year run. 

Quote, “I’m humbled, honored, and completely stoked about being selected as the lead guitarist in the next generation of the legendary Motown band, Rare Earth. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime for me. I’ll do my best to represent band’s legacy and keep the music alive for all the fans across the world.”
