Tequila Dan began his professional music career in the 1970s, performing under the same stage name he uses today. Inspired by artists like Jim Croce and The Eagles, his style blends heartfelt storytelling with classic folk-rock sensibilities.
After decades of playing and performing, Dan turned his focus to songwriting about three years ago—often finding inspiration in the stillness of 3:00 AM. A proud Bartlett native, he treasures his roots and his biggest fan, his dog Opie.
Borrowing a favorite quote from a Facebook post, Dan sums up his musical journey simply: “I play and sing not because I’m good at it, but because I love it.”
