home To Call Dan McGuinness a singer is an understatement...
Dan's voice harkens a listener's memory back to a time when Blue-Eyed Soul ruled the radio. Full and powerful, Dan's voice can go from edgy and rough to soft and delicate in an instant. His incredible range and perfect pitch are complimented by his expert technique and his soft touch. In constant demand not only as a singer but as a voice over specialist, announcer, and sports radio broadcaster, Dan is no longer Chicago's best kept secret.
As a singer, Dan has opened up for, sat in or performed with various bands through the years including Pat Benetar, Jerry Jeff Walker, Paula Nelson Band, Peter White, Mindi Abair, Bobby Caldwell & most notably with the legendary touring group, Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Dan enjoys touring nationally year around with his tribute to that great music, Blue Moon Swamp .
For Dan McGuinness, singing rock & roll, songwriting and performance is something very close to his heart. Whatever the song, old or new, Dan McGuinness' voice takes you by the hand and leads you to the core of the musical journey.
