You don't know what you are missing if you don't book me. Perhaps ignorance is bliss... But perhaps you want the heart & soul, experience & care that I infuse into every musical opportunity to bless you and the people you care about.
I play guitar (some piano) and a variety of amazing covers from your favorite bands. I specialize in family-friendly tunes from the 60s to today. Country, Country Rock, Classic Rock, Classic Country, and Popular hits from artists such as Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, the Beatles, etc.
I've played thousands of concerts over the years. I LOVE playing Weddings. My wife and I lead worship. We perform at Cup O Joy, Lifest, and other music festivals.

August 17, 2025I really can't express my happiness with Dan enough. We hired him to come play at a wedding reception, and he was completely engaged and receptive to everything we ask. His renditions of our dedications were tear provoking, and he punctuated everything with great, personal conversation. He worked with us so well, even with the weather being not cooperative. Will definitely hire Dan back in the future, and suggest you do as well.

May 17, 2025Daniel did a phenomenal job at our event. He went above and beyond by learning too very old love songs and performed them beautifully. He showed up on time and played much longer than required or expected. We would highly recommend him.

I love people and do all I can to serve them well!
If I'm playing a wedding, I am extremely professional and do what the Bride tells me to do... because I value my life.
If I am playing worship in church, then so help me God, I am going to lead people into the very throne room of God... no really, so help me God!
If I am performing for the lovely fine folks who inhabit nursing homes, my goal is to make them laugh or at the very least to crack a smile... or maybe just stop crying? My goal is to play the songs they know and love making them feel a warm and fuzzy nostalgic glow of pure Sunshine. No, I will NOT take their sunshine away! That's a promise.
I was born at a very young age, and when asked yesterday where I was from, I answered as honestly as I could, "from my mum." When complimented on how awesome I play the guitar and sing, I quoted Westley from The Princess Bride, "Worked hard to become so!"
I have been leading worship in churches around Northeast Wisconsin since 2001. I went into Nursing Home ministry in November 2006 and haven't looked back since. Along the way, my wife and I have recorded an unspecified* number of albums and have produced an unspecified* number of children. (*Unspecified because who knows if another will pop out at any minute and let's face it... my biggest priority if that happens is not to come back here and update this bio for the sake of being accurate).
I've performed many weddings, farmers markets, churches, Cup O Joy concerts, Lifest appearances (I know what you're thinking... I am not referencing the streaker who ran across the stage during the Switchfoot concert last year... that wasn't me... well, at least they can't prove it), and random Walmart parking lot concerts... ok just kidding about the last one.
I have a unique mole under my left arm that my one-year-old finds fascinating and picks at from time to time... ok, that was too much information. Better quit while I was ahead.
I need one outlet plug and 5 square feet to stand in for my set up... ok, they could be 5 round feet if thats all you have to spare... and I will even settle for 5 hobbit feet but that's pushing it.

Depends on what kind of event I am playing for.
I play appropriate music for the appropriate venue
It's most important to mention that my biggest musical influence is your favorite band. What a coincidence right!? Who knew we had so much in common? Now I suspect you are far more likely to listen to my music (and/or hire me) knowing that I was directly influenced by something you already love!
Other influences include:
Coldplay and Jason Mraz,
The Civil Wars (the band, not the actual civil war... the band does not at all resemble civil war era music... that I know of. And no, of course I didn't research all of civil war era music to verify this.)
Sufjan Stevens (the acoustic stuff)
Iron and Wine (Try to see how many songs I play and have written that rip off his picking patterns and/or chord progressions)
