Emmy-winning actor and musician JEFF DANIELS, will perform throughout the Northeast, South and Midwest in January to support his new album Days Like These with special guests the Ben Daniels Band.
Daniels has proven that he is not an actor who sings, but an accomplished singer/songwriter whose musical talent does not require the support of his acting. What started out as a “good idea” to raise funds for The Purple Rose Theatre (a not-for-profit professional company Jeff founded in his hometown, Chelsea, MI) turned into six albums and several U.S. tours performing at venues, opera houses and PACs throughout the country. He has shared the stage with Lyle Lovette, John Hiatt and Keb Mo’. But on his most recent tour, Jeff invited The Ben Daniels Band, a “life highlight” for the Emmy-winning and Tony nominated actor.
“In getting ready to go out this past summer with Ben’s band, I didn’t want to do the standard “Opener-Headliner” deal. Instead, I wanted to take what I do on my own, blend it in with what Ben’s band does and come out with a new show. I love writing songs, I love entertaining people, and I love putting on a show. Happy to say, the show just got better.”
