About This Release
Written over the course of several years in between Nashville and Boston, Happy to See Me is a record about changes——lots and lots of changes. A smart mix of Ray Davies and east coast cool, Happy to See Me is a midnight run through the trials and tribulations associated with becoming comfortable in one's own skin. Better late than never. The album is Dan's solo debut album, and features help from old friends Mike Quinn (Moontower / Q Division, and Kurt von Stetten.
