Professional musician; I play violin/fiddle and guitar primarily (also mandolin, banjo, bass, et al.) and compose music in various styles including rock, jazz, fusion, classical and country/ bluegrass. I am currently the band leader for Buddy Jewell, recording artist and winner of the 2003 Nashville star contest on USA network. I fronted a progressive rock/fusion/jam band called Iratowns for 10 years. Since 1999 I've had the privilege of being associated with Bogus Pomp, the world's premier Frank Zappa tribute band, as a performer on violin and guitar. In addition, I have performed with Leftover Salmon, Col. Bruce Hampton, Jeff Sipe's Apartment Project, John Herman of Widespread Panic, the Huntsville Opera Theater Orchestra, the Auburn University Symphonic Band, and the Auburn University Symphony Orchestra, among many others. I have performed at the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium, Pro Player Stadium in Miami, and at the Paris Country Music Festival in Villebon, France. In Summer 2008 I will be touring with the HonkyTonk Tailgate Party with MArk Wills, Trent Willmon, Ray Scott and Buddy Jewell. The greatest honor I've had as a musician was entertaining U.S. troops in Iraq with country star Aaron Tippin in November 2007. It was an unforgettable experience. I've composed a multimedia presentation about it and will be glad to send that to anyone interested if you forward me an email address.I'm originally from Huntsville, AL and studied music and history at Auburn University. My songs are available on my Myspace Music site, www.myspace.com/dancampbellmusic, a link to which is located below in my "Top Friends".
