Dan Daniels and the Southern Gents are a pop quarter from Marquette, Michigan who have been around long enough to have become one of the most exciting and creative acts in the glorious Midwest. Influences ranging from The Beatles to Ween to Les Paul to Talking Heads collide into a spectacularly original sound with insistent beats and soaring melodies and chiming guitars and cracking drums and thumping bass and...well, I've said enough. Try some, won't you?
