Dan

Dan handles the bass duties for BBB and has a true passion for playing. Just ask his wife, who is wondering just how many bands can Dan play with at once.

Role in the band

Bass Guitar & back-up vocals (I love a fifth harmony!)

Bio

I started on trumpet in 4th grade. Bought my first guitar in 9th grade..so long trumpet! Played six-string guitar in various bands through high-school, college and after turned to playing bass while jamming with “The New Vibration Society” doing smooth and free-form jazz. At the same time I had the good fortune of playing wedding and party gigs with a fantastic drummer, Steve Harrison in “Quarter Moon“. Played a lot of different gigs since..everything from jazz, country, rock to contemporary Christian. I also had the good fortune of hooking up with a great guitarist, Dave Sharman and some other great musicians on Craigslist to form a short-term jazz gig which eventually lead to filling in with “BBB“!

Main influences

Smooth Jazz and Latin Jazz...there’s so much I can’t begin to list it all!

Favorite thing about playing in Bob's Brother's Band

The band is made up of a group of GREAT personalities/musicians (both past & present)!

Favorite song(s) that the band plays

Moondance, all of the Soul stuff, Steely Dan’s Black Friday..I should stop here..It’s ALL good!

Gear

My current equipment..an Ibanez 5-string (took a while to get used to the bottom B but I would be lost without it now!) and a MarcBass twin-ten cabinet and Little-Marc II head - the lightest weight with biggest sound rig on the market!
