ISC announces Award WINNER

Congratulations go out in a HUGE way to Dan for taking FIRST PLACE in the International Songwriter Competition for the Instrumental Category for GONE BESERK off his latest album Frostbite! As you know...Dan has been playing for over 30 years and he's been nominated for other awards in the past, but this is by the far the GREATEST accomplishment for him. Over 16000 entries had been received for the competition. 16 of those were selected as finalists in the instrumental category - and to note, of those, only 4 were from the United States. Among the judges were Peter Gabriel, Wynona, a member of the Byrds, and too many others to name. Dan would like to thank Lee Marcus for his originality and creativity in Gone Beserk. Also, thanks go out to Wyatt Rice, Rickie Simpkins, Rob Ickes, Ron Rice, and Adam Steffey for their phenomenal musicianship, as well as Richard Bennett and Don Rigsby for the vocals. All of these guys make playing and writing an inspiration. Finally - a really big thanks goes out to YOU, his fans. Without your support and listening ears, none of this would mean anything!
