And The Winner Is... 

Well, it wasn't me but man, I'll tell ya', taking a bronze medal in the Cleveland Scene Magazine Best of Cleveland - Singer/Songwriter category is a pretty cool deal! A huge THANK YOU to everyone that voted! The support is greatly appreciated & it's nice to be recognized for my little contributions to the music world. I have a lot of new songs in the works & hoping to get the full band out and about more in 2024. Stay tuned & cheers to all the #dansfans out there!
