He was heavily influenced by Earl Scruggs, Eddie and Martha Adcock, the Country Gentlemen, and in particular the Seldom Scene.
Dan’s primary instrument is the 5-string banjo, but he also plays guitar, mandolin, and dobro.He has performed all over the U.S. and internationally, as a solo artist, in theatrical productions and symphony orchestras, and as a member of several bands, most notably “J.B. Beverley & The Wayward Drifters.” He has performed in venues ranging from street corner busking to bar/coffeehouse gigs, children's shows, private parties and corporate events. Some of the more notable venues include Opryland, USA, the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, the High Sierra Music Festival, the National Cherry Blossom Festival, and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
