Hanging with the boys in the band takes on all forms these days. I have found that if you really want to be a musician, a REAL Rockstar, a performer of the purest kind, you have to put in the work. You can’t just decide one day that you are going to peel off your suit and be a musician. Don’t get me wrong… you CAN be a rockstar–with or WITHOUT a suit, you just can’t decide one day to pick-up your brother’s-neighbor’s-grandma’s guitar and be an instant rockstar. The boys in THIS band have worked individually and collectively for YEARS to get to where they are today. They practice together, and in their own spaces for many hours each day to create the sound that has become known as theirs. The music you hear, the lyrics you feel, and the image that you remember is something these guys have put some effort into! The songs are all written by Jon. The soul is added in layers as Floyd and Michael add to Jon’s music and lyrics and build on each idea and emotion. All of the music is inspired, none of it is an accident. If you love it–GREAT! If you don’t–that’s okay too. Just know that the musical genius that fuels the Jon Dansie Band is a wide array of influences ranging from Jazz to Blues to Rock to Old to Older to Clapton to Skynard to Styx to Petty to Doobies to SRV to… I think you get the drift.

Life Goes On and On and On…

We are so lucky to say that our world is still turning, we are all still kicking, Michael is back among the living, our (day) jobs and families are great… The Jon Dansie Band has been playing out a lot. We hope YOU have been in our audiences!

Before the end of 2010 we played some of the best shows we have ever done. The Work Activity Center was completely AMAZING! The staff and patrons made us feel so welcome… We rocked the HOUSE! This was, by FAR our favorite gig that we have ever done. We have never been so well received. Thank you, one and all!

We played a Christmas Party for Tetra Financial at Utah’s own Grand America Hotel. Let’s see… WOW! The entire Tetra staff was fantastic to work with and perform for. We did a very special rendition of ‘Happy Birthday, BLUES STYLE’ that nearly brought down the house!!! The fire alarms even started going off! Seriously–good times. You can’t make this stuff up. Table dancing was enjoyed by all.

Toward the end of 2010, and the beginning of 2011, we have been honored to be included in the line-up of great artists asked to perform at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) in Salt Lake City. The venue: ACOUSTIC LOVE FEST. A rotating schedule of local talent brought together by Ron Woolf of the Woolf-Bell Band. The artists span all ages and styles creating an evening of entertainment like none other. PLEASE WATCH THIS SITE, AS WELL AS OUR FB PAGE FOR FUTURE DATES. Acoustic Love Fest will be continuing on a monthly basis as long as the audiences find us worthy.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support! We are working on our 2011 Tour Schedule and would love to have you come along for the ride!

♥Jon, Floyd, and Michael
