About Me


The Gulf States and the Midwest concert tours went well... very exhausting but it's all good. I met so many incredible people. And Matt Di Filippo joined me on the Midwest tour. Alas... he is headed off to Texas A&M so I will do my final tour of the year by myself. In late September I am headed out to West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California. I am very pumped about this final tour.
I am beginning pre-production work on my next CD. It will be titled "Out of the Darkness" and I am writing a book of the same title to be released simultaneously. The CD and book will be based on the darkest moment of my life... July 10, 2002, when I decided I would bring my life to an end. God intervened and showed me a flicker of light in the barren darkness. It took me three long years before I could tell God I was glad He intervened, but I definitely did thank Him. And now look where my life is... how great is our God. The message of the CD and book will be that of "hope". I figured that if I could find hope in a situation that was completely without hope, then anyone can, regardless of circumstance.
And if this is your first time visiting my page, if you want to get to know what I and my ministry are about, read the blog entry above regarding the interview with Today's Catholic newspaper... and if you have a prayer request that you would like to go worldwide, please add it below.
Peace in Jesus. - Dan
PS - Everyone who subscribes to my blog and lets me know they did will receive a free copy of my next cd of original tunes... I plan to record and release "Out of the Darkness" in 2009. I'd love to give a LOT of copies away.


Hi, I'm Dan Dúet and I appreciate your visiting my page.
I am 7th of 8 children and grew up just outside New Orleans (in the metropolis known as Belle Chasse). I now live in San Antonio and left a corporate career of 16+ years to follow a vocational call to music as ministry. I am involved in providing ministry through music in Catholic and other Christian settings. I consider myself a "contemplative charismatic"... meaning I enjoy contemplative, quiet prayer time, but am also very comfortable in the Charismatic Renewal of the Church.
I began writing songs for retreats when I was in college (Geaux Tigers!) and that has led to my writing songs for a broader audience and vision.
The purpose of everything I do with music is single-fold: to bring people to the love and salvation of Jesus Christ. That's it. Nothing fancy. My thoughts about whatever gift of music He may have given me can best be summed up in the lyrics from one of my favorite Christian artists, Bebo Norman, "I would rather be cast away, seperated from the human race... if I don't bring You glory." Whether it be through music, prayer, encouraging another person, my sole desire is to bring Him glory.
I have recorded three CD's to date: "Touch the Flame" / "Cry Out to Jesus" / "Song to the King - A Christmas Collection".
Let me know if I can ever prayer for you or an intention of yours. And please, please keep me in your prayers.
Thank you.

It's Jesus in the streets of New York City

"Traces of Jesus" won the 2008 Unity Award as the "Country Song of the Year"! The event was exciting, with or without an award... but how sweet to pick up such a great souvenir while I was on tour!

I met LOTS of really awesome people during my Fall tour which concluded in Picayune, MS, on November 2. I've got some things planned in San Antonio and Floresville over the next two months. Then me and Matt Di Filippo might try to get some dates in and around South Texas at the beginning of January.

Matt Di Filippo was nominated for Unity awards as well and we are working on a new CD of his. I'll be producing again and Matt is writing new material that will take him up another level as an artist and as a minister of music. His CD is set for a late-Spring or early-Summer 2009 release. Keep this project in your prayers.

Inclusivity and Stooooopidity

One of the MANY problems with "inclusivity" is how absurd the "reasoning" behind it is when taken COMPLETELY, ENTIRELY, 100%, out of context.   Take the story below from Armonk, NY. I'...
