Excited to announce my Debut album "Friday Night Nowhere" is due out 11/8! In support of the release, I'll be playing songs from the album alongside of Joey and Fish from Driftwood.
Indie/Folk powerhouse, The Rollin' Rust will be kicking off the show at 8.
No stranger to writing original songs for the stage, Dan is a founder and one of the main singer/songwriters for the folk band, Driftwood. The band has toured nationally for the last decade and has crafted a style that is based on folk-tinged tunes. With the upcoming release of his first solo endeavor, his live set consists of original songs as well as some traditional folk tunes.
I have released lots of music over the years but never a solo project. I recorded it on a 4 track cassette machine from 2020 to 2022 in the late night hours. The songs are all close to my heart and most of them came out of the changes brought on by the Pandemic. The sound is acoustic and fairly sparse because I tried my best to keep it simple and let the songs speak for themselves.
The Rollin' Rust is an indie/folk group from the foothills of Central New York. Being led by singer-songwriter James VanDeuson, The Rollin' Rust celebrates the distinguished writing style of a vagabond folk artist. Joined by his talented friends, Jim Hearn (lead guitarist) and Kyle Dennis (percussion) James' songs now have a distinct edginess to them, sounding almost as if you took a classic folk song and corrupted its mind with years of crazed festivals and long nights in smoky southern bar rooms. The Rollin' Rust boys have been playing music together since they were just teenagers, crafting a truly unique sound that could only be formed by such long-lasting friendship and intimate evenings with the highway itself.
Through their polished performance and colorful lyricism, The Rollin' Rust tells the noble tale of a rambling group of young dreamers, unafraid to live out of vans, buses, hotels... and at times... tents. Their truthful stories of misfortune and their unmistakable tone allows them to leave their mark, wherever they happen to end up for the night.
