ABOUT

My name is Dan Carlson. You can reach me at 928-710-0785. I enjoy many different styles of music, but prefer to play types with a strong back beat to dance to. I've been playing drums for 33 years. I am currently playing with Claus and Affect. My prior local bands are The Front Page Blues Band, Crossfire, The Sheldonz, Rah Dawg Revival-Rawk'n Roll, Pink Cloud, Metropolis (classic rock/alternative rock/country), Slinger (classic rock/blues/country), Tippikanu (alternative folk rock), and in Lake Havasu 220 - High Voltage Blues.
