“I was saying earlier Dan, that I think that you will be one of those people that in like 10, 20 years, we’ll be like “we had that kid on our show”.”
--Connie, "Connie and Fish, Z104 Madison"
“Wow! The whole time you were singing, Fish and I were looking at each other going “he’s good”.”
--Connie, “Connie and Fish, Z104 Madison”
"I'm not just sayin' this, we have pretty good ears for this stuff. That's [Heaven's Dedication] an extremely good song."
--Fish "Connie and Fish, Z104 Madison"
Feeling the music is what Dan Collins is all about. Rather than just playing the black and white fabrication of theoretically precise tones, the music flows from his fingertips, through the ivory, and into the ears of his audience. From the lush piano ballades to the highly energized rock songs, all of the notes and words that are consumed strike even the smallest of hearts. For 11 years, Dan’s hands have felt the beauty of piano, and likewise, his voice has visited the rich falsetto and broad timbre of the most natural form of music. As he is only in his youthful years, Dan’s future is looking bright as a booming musician.
On drums, theoretic maniac, Luke Thering has been playing percussion/piano for virtually his entire life. His similar likes in music have driven him to be the "best piano-rock drummer of the ages" -Dan Collins.
On bass, rocker Chris Gatz has an array of mad skills. Seeing as his primary instrument is the electric guitar, picking up the bass wasn't a problem for this musical frenzy of a man. Chris is indisputably, "the most driven musician of his kind." -Dan Collins
