"The Joe Cocker Experience" was an idea that came together after hearing Dan sing on stage one night a few years ago. His voice and mannerisms are so much like Joe Cocker's, it'll make your head spin.
=0D=0A=At that point, it was a matter of building the band around him. After a serious vetting process - the result is an incredibly talented band - including 2 female singers; 2 keyboard players; 2 horn players; a percussionist; bass; drums; guitar; and of course Dan our singer.
=0D=0A=We have re-created the band Joe used on his last tour but more specifically, the band he used in Cologne, Germany on April 22, 2013.
=0D=0A=The music is all Cocker, and sung only like Joe could. Songs like "With A Little Help From My Friends", "Leave Your Hat On", The Letter" to name a few and including new songs off his latest album "Fire It Up" - which shares the name of his last tour.
=0D=0A=With a sense of urgency to work out the small details, "The Joe Cocker Experience" is everything you would expect from a live performance from the great Joe Cocker.
=0D=0A=As for our singer Dan, no matter where we play, after each of our performances, we get asked the same question, "where'd ya find this guy - he sounds just like 'em?
=0D=0A=The result is an "all-star" band made up of these professional musicians:
=0D=0A=- Danny Bee: lead vocals (31 years pro)
=0D=0A=- Daryl Marklinger: lead guitar (21 years pro)
=0D=0A=- Ron McKee: bass guitar (26 years pro)
