The Fancy Dan Band plays music for singing and dancing to. One minute they’ll be tearing through barn burners guaranteed to get your feet stomping and your hips swinging and the next minute they’ll be playing whisper soft lonesome songs that will have you teary-eyed and looking for a partner to grab hold of. Ranging in style from rockabilly to country to blues to folk to gospel, the Fancy Dan Band combines American roots music forms to make a unique sound that is both traditional and modern at the same time.

Growing up in the Midwest, as the son of a preacher and a teacher, Fancy Dan realized his true calling and in 2006 he headed west for the San Francisco Bay Area in attempts to be as Fancy as humanly possible. Starting in 2007, Fancy Dan put together a band with 3 first-rate musicians who give his songs the power they deserve. With Derek McDonald on drums, Mark Underwood on the upright bass, and Michael Loebs on electric guitar, the Fancy Dan Band is on their way to becoming your new favorite band. In the name of spreading the gospel of Fancy Dan, they have their sights set on a debut album, American tour, and merchandise the likes of which has never been seen. Once you come in contact with them in mind, body, or spirit, chances are you will never be the same.
