Dan also tours with Seth and several other top bands in Michigan.  

The music they will be performing for this benefit concert includes a mix of folk tunes from well known artists like Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and other legendary performers, plus a good dose of blues and Seth's awarding winning original songs.
