CMA Award-winning fiddle, mandolin, and banjo player. Recording and/or live performance credits include Dierks Bentley, John Fogerty, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, and more.
I am a professional session/touring multi-instrumentalist based in Nashville, TN. I have more than twenty years experience and have toured and/or recorded with a wide array of artists. For the past thirteen years, I have been a member of Dierks Bentley's band, playing fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, and serving as bandleader. My fiddle playing can be heard on Dierks' latest release, Gravel and Gold. In 2016 and again in 2022, I was honored to be named the CMA Touring Musician of the Year. Although my background is rooted in country music, I'm open to any and all styles. I'm looking forward to working on your next project!

Dan is great! He was highly professional and did a wonderful job at communicating with me to get the best result possible. I appreciate musicians who can follow my vision, but also be creative themselves and truly make it their own. Will definitely be coming back to Dan next time I'm in need of a world class fiddle!

Dan is a virtuosic talent but serves the song. He has a great ear and was able to transform my somewhat vague ideas into a beautiful and melodic part. I will be back in the future!
