In 2004, fresh out of high school, Singer/songwriter Dave Daniels sold 1,000 copies of his debut full length album, “The Tallahassee Twilight and the Morning after Suite”, while playing college gigs in his native Florida. This feat earned him a spot as Tallahassee.com’s “Artist of the Month” and his band won Florida State University’s 2005 Battle of the Bands. Since departing from Florida, Daniels has embarked on an average of 150 shows per year while recording two follow up independent records under his own record label, Black Hills Music. His latest, 2009’s “Just Like Ghosts”, was produced by Daniels himself and well known producer/engineer Ben Holst, whose credits include working with Brendan O’Brien at Atlanta’s Southside Tracks Studios during studio projects with Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, and R.E.M. His voice spans from a tone of darkness to one of encouraged, cautious optimism in a matter of moments. It’s a sign of nuance; a sign of maturation and evolution. One that gives Daniels a broader vision, making him quick to back off being too political in his music. It’s poignant, then, that he describes Natalie Merchant’s “Motherland” (a cover song on “Just Like Ghosts”) in a bigger context. Daniels band is currently touring the Southeast, and includes previous members of Sugarland, Railroad Earth, Corey Smith, Donna The Buffalo, and the Soulphonics, all genre bending bands that have a buzz off their own. “Just Like Ghosts” releases officially on September 1, 2009.
