WHAT?!

This little four piece band formed in 2013 when Dan placed an ad on the Nashville Craigslist that said “Baby boomer wants to jam!” The goal was to play and sing music that everybody loves to play and sing. Roger and Dan got together a couple of times to make sure they were on the same page, and they definitely were. Roger recruited his lifelong friend, Myron, to play drums and sing. After a couple of practices, Jeff responded to the Craigslist ad, and was a perfect fit.

Dan plays lead guitar and sings. In his 20s, he was in a band that got a major label record deal and was associated with a top ten national hit record. Later, he worked with Warner Bros. Records here in Nashville and managed two major label recording artists.

Roger plays bass and sings. He made his first record in 1973 and has been a long-time collaborator with R. Stevie Moore and Billy Anderson. He has a recording studio and has recorded vocals with and for The Apples In Stereo. As a writer, he has had several cuts. He also sings in the a cappella group- 1WORD.

Myron has been drumming since elementary school. He was an early collaborator with R. Stevie Moore, and toured extensively with the Jordanairres and Pat Boone in the early 1970s.

Jeff , the youngster of the group, plays keyboard and guitar and sings. He writes and records his own songs and plays out solo, as well as being the utility man for a Johnny Cash tribute act.

So far, the band's repertoire consists of songs from the 1960s and 70s-- heavy on harmonies! They do numbers by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Paul Revere and The Raiders, The Bee Gees, The Byrds, Del Shannon, Tommy James, Roy Orbison, Wilson Pickett, The Buckinghams, The Left Banke, The Beach Boys, Crosby,Stills,Nash, & Young, The Hollies, The Kinks, The Zombies, and more. If you want to see four guys really enjoying what they do, be sure to spend some time with WHAT?!
