Needless to say, we're very proud of him and his band! There were 60 bands scheduled to participate and I don't know how many were there, but it lasted all day yesterday. They won $650 to be applied to their studio time to complete their latest CD, which should allow them to complete it.
Dan plays bass and acoustic guitar, sings and writes some of their songs, Dominick plays the guitar, violin and writes songs, Zach plays the acoustic guitar and banjo and writes songs, Shana plays the chimes, keyboard, accordion sings, Brandon plays the drums and they all sing.
They're good kids and we are very happy that Dan and his friends enjoy playing their music and have found many local venues to play. They play coffee houses, street fairs, bars, etc... anywhere they can and people seem to really like their music. It's "alternative folk" and a commercial band that they sound a lot like is "Mumford and Sons".
Dan started playing the bass at our church on our worship team and he moved on to the electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, keyboard and singing, but all of the band members play multiple instruments, so it's getting hard to keep track...
Our daughter plays the cello and they recorded her to put a few tracks onto the CD, which really made her happy! I would post some pics, but the resize functions doesn't work on this forum any more, so I can't...
I can't seem to embed the YouTube links...
