Daniel T. Coates

Group Formations...

The Daniel T. Coates Project comes in several forms from Solo to a small unplugged formation with or without percussion to a full blown 6 man band with pedal steel and banjo. All members are active fulltime musicians with broad musical backgrounds covering the areas of Blues, Folk, Jazz, Bluegrass, and Rock. This keeps everybody thinking fresh and ensures new impulses from outside the "Pure Country" arena.

Crazy, Fun, Entertaining...

Dan has a great voice, plays some good guitar and always has great musicians with him. But what people really seem to remember is that every show is full of one time spontaneous, compulsive Fun ! Coates can make an event happen without sacrificing quality.
