Out of Lincoln, Nebraskathe state that shared Matthew Sweet, 311, Connor Oberst (Bright Eyes), and James Valentine (Maroon 5)comes a singer-songwriter who blends jam-band trends with Revolver-esque pop/rock sensibilities. Nashville recording artist Daniel Christian (BMI) has toured the nation in a number of performing groups, allowing him to share his music in many great U. S. cities including: Minneapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, New Orleans, Phoenix, Denver and Los Angeles. Daniel has entertained large audiences at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, Nashville's Bluebird Cafe, Knotts Berry Farm, the Warner Brothers cruise line, the Omaha Summer Arts Festival, several Comstock Windmill and Harvest Festivals, and in the Bahamas and Mexico. His diverse experience with a variety of music projects has allowed him to share the stage with many internationally acclaimed acts. On his new record, i am merely sand, Daniel can be heard singing (of course), and drumming (his first love), as well as playing guitars, percussion, and keyboard instruments. He is joined on guitar by Nashville session player Pat Bergeson, protégé of legendary guitarist Chet Atkins. Formerly with Alison Krauss and JoDee Messina, Bergeson has been heard most recently with Annie Sellick, Lyle Lovett, and Randy Travis. Another session professional, Charlie Chadwick, performs bass guitar responsibilities, and engineers the album. Chadwick, who has been heard with Pam Tillis, Crystal Gayle, Steve Earle, John Jorgenson, Bela Fleck, and David Lee Roth (to name a few), has just earned his second Grammy Award for his work on Peter Frampton’s Fingerprints project.
Band/artist history
Daniel Christian was playing drums as soon as he could hold sticks. His father played drums with a successful local cover act (which rehearsed in their home), exposing Daniel to a broad range of classic and modern hits. Musical seeds were probably planted by his father, who, in addition to drumming, sang and played trumpet. His mother would tell you she plays the radio. Years later, like many elementary school students, Daniel’s parents “forced” him to take piano lessons, which he dreaded until he quit, then missed them, and started again on his own. Melodies and lyrics were in Daniel’s head as early as age 7, but by age 16 he began writing them down. In high school, he formed a cover band with friends, who taught him to play the guitar. This instrument proved to be a fortunate skill in college, since no drum sets and pianos were allowed in campus dorm rooms. Although Daniel did study music in college, he graduated with a B. S. ed. in English and Humanities. He has worked with choirs, country singers, and rock bands, and now creates and shares his own music with a variety of audiences. Daniel is quite a miscellaneous kind of guy; he was awarded 1st place in the "Miscellaneous" category at the 32nd Annual National Country Music Festival, where he was also 1/3 of the festival's Best Vocal Group. Daniel is a founding member of Nebraska’s chapter of the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI). He penned “No-Money Fun,” the most-requested song at KNCY-FM in Nebraska City, and recently composed the school song for newly formed high school Johnson County Central in his hometown of Tecumseh, NE. The Lincoln Journal-Star says that the new school song creates "a unity between the school and its community of patrons. The lyrics pay homage to what had been but also focuses on what is now and what will be. It focuses on unity, loyalty and pride in the new school." Daniel Christian’s i am merely sand is available now at www.DanielChristianMusic.com and on iTunes.

And even more, he is capable of dishing up all this while appealing to all people! From screaming teen-agers, to admiring twenty-thirty-forty-somethings, and beyond, he doesn’t let anyone down!
