About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Black white gray

Well, just in case anyone is still wondering, the answer is yes...I did used to sing for Johnny Q Public. The band broke up in 2000 and since then I've been on as much of a roller coaster ride in life as I was when traveling with the band. My wife of 16 years, Marla, and I had our first child just weeks before 9/11. His name is Elvis (and that's not a typo). He's been the greatest and most inspiring thing that has ever happened to us. And I don't know if it breaks the MySpace rules, but he also has a MySpace page. I started a business, Fritz Designs and Concepts at about that same time. We specialize in high end cabinetry and entry doors for the home. Our site is fritzdc.com. But, what I've been more excited about lately from a musical standpoint has been Songpull. I started Songpull in my dining room about a year and a half ago and it has been overwhelmingly exciting to see it grow into such an amazing journey for songwriters all over the world. We started songpull.com a few months after our first pull and it has just taken off like a wild fire. Take time to learn what it's all about at songpull.com. Hope you enjoy.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/12/2005
Band Website: songpull.com
Band Members: Dan Fritz
Influences: I'm a huge fan of U2. I grew up listening to an incredible variety of music. Towards the beginning it was the stuff my parents loved which now I do as well like Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, John Hartford, the Eagles, Marshall Tucker, and Waylon Jennings. Later I restricted myself to only christian music like Petra, DCTalk, Degarmo and Key, Phil Keaggy, The Sparks, Steve Taylor, Russ Taff and Larry Norman. Now I'm listening to a ton of Tom Petty, Feeder, Gay Dad, The Black Crows, Jane's Addiction and of course all my best friends music, Flick, Fern, Rabbit Fighter and even some JQP for old times sake. Oh yeah and I can't forget all my Songpull favorites Ken Bassham, Mead Price, Trevor Thornton, Jason Gaylor, Brad Russell, Barney Fritz, Mark Price, Matt Long and so many more.
Sounds Like: It's been hard for alot of people to try and describe Fritz and His Cowboy Outfit. I hear some JQP at times, Tom Petty at other times. There is a song called Crushed Velvet that sounds a little like U2...ok maybe alot. I think if you read my musical influences, you would conclude that it sounds exactly like that!
Type of Label: None
