Overview

No other band, specifically in Chicago, can compare to performing the music of Creedence. Dan has been there, done that, proven himself time & time again with Creedence Clearwater Revisited and Blue Moon Swamp. Endorsed by co-founding CCR members and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers.

Performing the songs of Creedence Clearwater Revival, plus Dan's original songs & those of the band Ween. Depending on the event. Formerly toured by the name "Blue Moon Swamp". Reach out to start the conversation for a great night of music.

Absolutely amazing!!!

Hired them for a private party at 210 LIVE and to say they impressed all is an understatement! They sounded fantastic! So fun. Dan’s voice is unbelievable. They were the hit of our party!
Super easy to work with and very professional.

Blue Moon Swamp Outstanding at M Resort Show

We attended the show at M Resort in Nevada November 16 and BMS with Dan McGuinness rocked the house. Audience started cheering as soon as the opening song started. This is a true tribute to John Fogerty and the CCR music. I've seen a Fogerty/CCR concert and this band is true to all the music and Dan McGuinness has the voice and movements of John Fogerty totally. The songs they played brought back so many memories, but there were some fresh new feelings too. The show list included all the biggest hits, plus extras. "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Lodi", "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?", "Bad Moon Risin'", "Fortunate Son", "Down on the Corner", "Doo,Doo,Doo (Lookin' Out My Back Door)", "Born on the Bayou", and a goose-bump, tear-jerking version of "Deja Vu". They played a full concert, with people dancing, clapping, and singing along. At the end, when people were cheering and didn't want it to end, they played a number of encores, including "Proud Mary". They did a 9 minute version of "Susie Q", as on the original album. We would travel to see them and know they have fans all over the country. Can't wait to see where they will be next. M Resort was also a great place to stay. Nice people everywhere, from front desk to restaurants to shuttle drivers. Hope to see BMS again soon.

At The M in Las Vegas

My wife and I attended their concert last night (November 16, 2013). I have been a fan of CCR since my Air Force days in the late 60's. The concert was held in what could be best described as a large Quonset hut. The acoustics were terrible, so the bands sound was not what it should have been. This is the first time we heard BMS. The group concentrated mostly on the "country" side of CCR and pretty much ignored the "rock n roll" side. They skipped most of CCR's top songs and did a half hearted effort on Susie Q, in fact, they didn't even finish it, just stopped. Strange I thought. Many people left the showroom before they finished. Please guys, dump the country and stick with the rock.

What to expect

Dan's eagerness to connect with audiences & deliver a high-energy, enjoyable experience at every show is the goal. Whether you recognize the song or not, people enjoy his performances.

If covering a song, expect to hear full-effort, respectful rendition of a popular song. Dan routinely covers songs by Ween, Neil Diamond, CCR & other lil surprises.

About

To call Dan McGuinness a singer is an understatement.
Dan’s voice harkens a listener’s memory back to a time when Blue Eyed Soul ruled the radio. Full and powerful, Dan’s voice can go from edgy and rough to soft and delicate in an instant. His incredible range and perfect pitch are complimented by his expert technique and his soft touch.

In constant demand as a singer, songwriter, performer and radio broadcaster, Dan is no longer Chicago’s best-kept secret. As a fan of CCR, he started listening to every album and bootleg he could get his hands on. His interpretation and delivery of the songs are right on the mark and he consistently wows audiences with his live performances.

In January of 2016, McGuinness joined bassist Stu Cook & drummer Doug “Cosmo” Clifford’s legendary touring group, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, on rhythm guitar and lead vocals. Cook & Clifford are the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section and co-founding members of Creedence Clearwater Revival. The band was on its “Final Revival” tour celebrating the legacy of Stu Cook & Doug “Cosmo” Clifford before the global crisis struck in early 2020. Creedence Clearwater Revisited celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2019.

Alongside guitarist Kurt Griffey, Dan launched Revisiting Creedence in 2021 to celebrate the legacy of one of America’s favorite catalogs.

From corporate conventions to colleges and clubs, The Dan McGuinness Band offers a variety of live/multimedia options to complement your event needs. We look forward to the opportunity of providing you with an unforgettable night of musical entertainment.

Testimonials

" We've had Blue Moon Swamp here for four years now, they've never disappointed the crowd. They played this evening through rain and 51 degree weather and every last participant sat there to listen to this great group. They're easy to get along with, they're personable and they interact with the crowd ... you just can't ask for a better act, than Blue Moon Swamp. John Fogerty would be proud to listen to Dan McGuinness sing his songs " (Oct. 3rd, 2009) -- Evelyn Brown, President of the Popcorn Festival of Clay County Indiana. www.popcornfest.net
