Dan (The Dad)
A veteran of the music scene, sings, plays, and writes, but mostly is the dad of these two Indie kids, and is so happy to be performing with them. Dan has a long history of performing all over the country. With one CD under his belt, hundreds of shows, and having performed with some of the biggest names in music including Lady Antebellum, The Band Perry, and Lee Brice, Dan decided to take a few years off to spend time with his indiekids. Now that they have matured into their own performers, the time was perfect to start performing again. Together they now make up the foundation for this unique group.

The grandson of an Italian accordion-maker, the son of a country music lover and a teacher of French and Spanish, David draws his musical influences from a variety of sources. He has traveled all over the globe in his pursuit of discovering new beats and melodies from distant musical landscapes. He is excited about laying down the low end in Indiekids Band and learning from his multigenerational bandmates! He also plays upright bass in the Symphony of Oak Park and River Forest.
