Dan Heath with the Paradise Band

No band does the "Great American Songbook" quite like Dan Heath with the Paradise Band. Surround a fine vocalist with the finest musicians and you get a great performance. Whether it's Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Nat King Cole, the Beatles and Elvis, this band really strikes the right chord with the audience. The band consists of Dan Heath on vocals, Steve Walley on keyboards, David Blackwell on sax/clarinet, Bob Ferguson on guitar, Brad Kuhns on bass, Matt Murdock on trumpet, and Terry Vaughn on drums. Dan Heath was selected as a quarterfinalist in the prestigeous Savannah Music Festival's American Traditions Vocal Competition during the summer of 2006. Steve Walley, David Blackwell and Bob Ferguson all have their master's degrees in music education or music performance. Brad Kuhns plays bass in the Fort Wayne Philharmonic as well. Matt Murdock is currently preparing his doctoral thesis in music education while Terry Vaughn is a band director in a local school system.
