Dan C
Bass, backing vox
Dan picked up a bass guitar in his teens to join a friend's band and fell in love with the instrument. Inspired by rock bands on MTV such as Journey, Metallica, Guns n Roses, and Bon Jovi, that short-lived project morphed into an original hard rock/metal band that achieved some success before grunge changed the musical landscape almost overnight. Since then, Dan's passion for musical collaboration and commitment to the low end has led to contributions in original bands --singer songwriter folk rock and Americana -- as well as several classic rock cover bands in Delaware and NJ recreating the sounds and grooves of the 60s-80s, and 90s-00s.
Playing with Jovi's Journey is an exciting opportunity to celebrate the musicianship and the enduring power of well crafted songs that touch the heart and inspire us to keep the faith and never stop believin'
