"I've always chased that ambition and I haven't been shy about it. I think I'm the next 'Piano Man.'"Download Heritage Trail and Dan’s other releases and see for yourself why audiences are taking notice - and why they may be hungry for a hero in this genre.Visit Dan's web site for Dan's live schedule, merch & more.

His exceptional talent led him to the prestigious University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in jazz piano. Here, he drew inspiration from artists like Keane and Coldplay, admiring their ability to prominently feature piano in a way that resonates with everyday listeners.Dan’s exceptional talent led him to the prestigious University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in jazz piano. Here, he drew inspiration from artists like Keane and Coldplay, admiring their ability to feature piano prominently in a way that resonated with everyday listeners. Additionally, he idolized Freddie Mercury of Queen for his dynamic stage presence and vocal prowess, while the soulful sounds of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye shaped his musical style.Blessed with perfect pitch and a multi-octave vocal range, Dan has been a professional musician for nearly half of his life. Music is the most honest form of expression for Dan. He often says he gets his emotions out much more clearly through music than through words or body language.Growing up in West Grove, Pennsylvania, Dan’s musical journey began early. He knew Mozart before he knew his ABCs and loved his afternoon piano lessons. A pivotal moment came when he discovered Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in his father’s CD collection. A lightbulb went off! He didn’t know piano could rock.Today, Dan’s unique blend of pop, rock, R&B, and balladry connects with fans of every genre and generation. His goal is to create music with a timeless quality that people of his generation can’t wait to show their grandkids someday.In 2016, Dan stepped into the national spotlight, performing at the “Power of Love” 20th Anniversary Gala, celebrating Tony Bennett’s 90th Birthday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. As part of an all-star lineup, Dan took the stage with American Idol Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks to sing a medley of Bennett’s hits. He has also supported headliners like Andrea Bocelli, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Robin Thicke, and the Blues Brothers."Thanks for listening, subscribing & telling a friend about the Dan Time Podcast!

Dan Guevara Music (Americana) - Part I (00:34:59)
"Folk with a Rock 'n' Roll Soul" — that is one way to describe Austin-based singer-songwriter Dan Guevara's sound! You might also say Dan's music reminds us that we don't always have to rush through our days; we can be a guiding light to someone in a dark place; and there can be comfort and solace in saying goodbye. It's also OK to look back and laugh at our missteps in romance — our "procrastination" that one time (or several times) when we should have just asked that someone out on a date!Dan's debut LP Lazy Days touches on a range of human emotions and experiences. It's the perfect musical companion for your commute, your weekend trip, an early morning with that first cup of coffee — or sitting around the fire pit with some friends.Dan Guevara had to learn a tough lesson during the recording of what would become his first EP Lost in Austin.
