What is the Dane
Varese Band? It is Dane's voice and unique vocal
delivery—exceptional by any measure. It is 80,000 plus MySpace views, over 100,000 song plays by fans around
the world, and over 100,000 hits on the band's initial
press release. It is a young band, light years beyond
its age in terms of musicianship and performance. It is
the Official Song of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, as
chosen by the city council. It is Dane's magnetic
on-stage charisma and an inspired live show that
includes extensive crowd interaction, behind the head
guitar solos, and feel-good, original songs that
captivate audiences upon first listen. It is a new group
on an exhilarating rise that has already garnered
national attention. It is the Dane Varese Band.
The Dane Varese Band,
a pop-rock quartet from Madison, Wisconsin, has played
some of the best venues and festivals. From their home
base in Madison to Oregon, Indiana, and Nashville, this
band is making a move on the national scene. The band's
songs have received airplay on radio stations across the
country, including on-air interviews from Madison to
Tampa, Florida, and the debut CD
NO REGRETS is currently
featured on KZUM in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Dane Varese
Band has also appeared on Indy's Music Channel and Fox
59's morning show in Indianapolis, Indiana.
This band appeals to virtually every type of audience.
From hard rock fans as openers for Rockstar INXS
runner-up Marty Casey to sharing the stage with blues
artist Mark David Group, the Dane Varese Band continues
to reveal its versatility and talent. The band has
gained appeal from diverse audiences at festivals such
as the World's Largest Bratfest and the Indiana State
Fair.
A rare blend of talent, youth, professionalism, and
humility, the Dane Varese Band has only just begun.
Jamison, the agent for Club Annex, best describes this
band: "The Dane Varese Band puts on the show of a major
label act without the attitude."
Canadian music reviewer
John Wirth echoes Jamison's sentiment: "Dane has the
sound of Jason Mraz, the delivery of Rob Thomas, and the
soul of James Taylor."
After the band's appearances in
Indianapolis, 96.3 on-air personality Deacon shares that
"I think those guys are VERY talented and will go FAR.
Tell them never to stop!"
Don't you worry about that,
Deacon.
Finally, music producer Terence Thompson, whose
"Heaven Can Wait" is featured on Michael Jackson's
"Invincible" CD, has strong feelings about this band.
"No doubt, I would love to work with them. We could make
some fire."
