Popple
What is the point? Why does Popple spend so much time writing songs, recording, practicing and having a blast playing music?
Kyle and Dan are two Catholic guys who like to have fun. They have combined these two aspects into a milkshake they call: Popple. They try to maximize the fun, without watering down their message of God's love and our responsibility. Assuming God enjoys a good laugh too, they use humor and on-stage antics to keep the joy coming.
Today Popple is available for fun concerts (originals or covers), praise and worship, mass music, retreats, event speakers and other needs that businesses, churches and individuals may have.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
More on Dan: Dan was born in 1932 from Amish parents in London. He learned how to play guitar from a gnome named Ron. He likes to dunk his cookies in butterscotch pudding and Mountain Dew. He has a bumper sticker on his car that says "Cats are my friends" and he has a side project as a "Poison" tribute band.
An inside scoop on Kyle: Kyle is actually a wicker basket used for storing dirty laundry. His collection of pottery has impressed the likes of Rudy, AC Slater, Jessica Simpson and Big Bird. Being raised by a pack of wild turkeys, he has the ability to predict the date of Thanksgiving two days in advance. A high school monopoly champion, corn dog eater, and water addict, he struggles with an extreme intellect and good looks.
