Stylistically Daniel takes after R.E.M., Wilco, Neil Young, and Tom Waits. He rocked Dave’s Taverna in Harrisonburg, VA on Tuesday nights as the frontman for Gary Haggerty and the Heartless Bastards back in his college days. Having been steeped in grunge, Daniel grew through Jaxx, IOTA Club, Cue Records, and 930 Club. He still cranks Black Sabbath Volume 4 on the occasional Saturday afternoon.
