About Me

This up and coming band, so named because their music draws back to those earlier music styles popular in decades past, is rocking the Texas music scene from the beautiful Hill Country town of Marble Falls. Daniel Conti, Alex Salinas,and Dr D, form the award winning band Daniel Conti and Drawing Back, who continue to enjoy a constantly growing following,and are performing all around Austin and the surrounding Hill Country."What Goes Around, Comes Around" is an Early Preview EP CD with five songs, including covers and original compositions.
