Dan Keller
As we blast out on this next tour, we would like to introduce you all to Daniel Keller. Dan lives and breathes music naturally. He will be joining us on guitar, keys, and good vibrations throughout this next tour. We hope that you all get to know him, welcome him to our tribe, and treat him with love and respect.
Playing in GPGDS has been a whimsical journey for all of us. Many characters and loved ones have passed through this wave of music playing. Our lives are all the more full because of these colorful personalities and presences. It is never a decision, as much as it is a matter of fact and a mark in the time. Nobody auditions for this group. People just happen to become the right fit at the right time. Dan Keller has strummed his way into our lives slowly over the past few years. Most notably he was introduced to us by way of The Buddhahood, one of our Rochester family groups which was founded by our guitar teacher and mentor Tony Cavagnaro. After Tony passed away, Dan stepped into his place and filled in for the great void that Tony left. Dan did it with class, humbleness, and prestige. We are honored to have such a player joining us. Welcome Dan!
