From singing in church as a child to accompanying some of San Diego's best-known roots musicians, to leading several Blues bands of his own, to founding a harmonica Trio (just for fun), Dane's harmonica has taken him all over San Diego, from street fairs to Folk Festivals, Country Jams to Jazz venues. Dane's experience is as varied as his musical passion and background.
A self-taught player of multiple instruments, Dane draws his musical inspiration from the Gospel, Country, Jazz and Blues his musician parents exposed him to from birth, and from American roots music of the 1930s to the 1960s.
