''I took a backway home last year and drove by my mom and dad's old farm. The house and barns were gone with just the mailbox left standing, overlooking a large cornfield. I actually said out loud "man, I loved that old house". The line stayed with me and on my next trip to Nashville, after telling friends Sam & Tempy, we wrote Christmas in the Country.''
Dan started playing guitar at the age of seven, beginning with lap steel, and by the time he was ten he was playing acoustic and wrote his first song for his mom; “Someone Like You”. His dad integrated him into the band he was playing bass for and by the time he was 13, Dan was the bass player and harmony singer for a local weekend band. His credits include over 200 albums as a singer/songwriter, producer, and bassist.

''Dan's music has been played all around the world, on television and in films. His talent as a singer/songwriter and producer is astounding.
