This is Dan´s debut CD. These recordings are a result of Dan´s pure fascination of the love of music and his intense desire to better his musicianship. While studying Digidesign Pro Tools; experimenting in home recording and multi-tracking techniques; working with a blend of new and old technologies Dan has produced a myriad of sonic possibilities. It is Dan´s desire that you the listener will appreciate the interpretation and treatment given as the electric and acoustic guitars and various other stringed instruments are the main focus.

Dan grew up playing music. At the age of 9 he started playing the trumpet and moved on to learn the trombone and French horn as he played in various Jr. High and High School Orchestras, Concert Bands and yes even the Marching Band. From his experiences with band music, Dan recognized the genius of John Phillip Sousa´s music. So the choice to work with Sousa arrangements was quite simple.

The transition to the electric guitar was made at the age of 14 when Dan first heard Led Zeppelin, and he has been making a "joyful noise" ever since.

Dan´s "Symphonic Guitars" concept (transposing and transcribing the compositions to fit the guitars tonal range) and paying "homage" to a fantastic selection of John Philip Sousa´s (one of the greatest and respected American composers of all time) most famous arrangements is a sure fit and we trust you will love the way Dan thinks "outside the box" and brings a new light to modern guitar playing and arrangement.

Some of the greatest mixing engineer/producers in the music business today (Steve Sykes, Carmen Rizzo, Khaliq Glover, Bruno Canale) and the professional drummer Rick Shlosser lent their talents to bring Dan's unique musical vision to life. Altogether they have truly brought Dan´s "Symphonic Guitars" to new heights. Bernie Becker, the impeccable mastering engineer joined the team and finalized the CD project which indeed makes listening to "Marching In" an incredible journey!
