The Fancy Dan Band is an American rock and roll band based in San Francisco, California. As Rock 'n' Reel Magazine describes, The Fancy Dan Band is "by turn introspective and hugely danceable, it's music that respectfully tips its hat to the past, but which is resolutely 21st century in its outlook." Not content to stay in one particular style, The Fancy Dan Band plays a combination of rock & roll, blues, folk, r&b, country, soul, and gospel to make an original sound that is undeniably American.
As the son of a preacher and a teacher, Fancy Dan Nordheim grew up around the midwest and got his start in the Michigan garage rock band The Blanks. In 2006, he headed west as a solo artist and eventually formed The Fancy Dan Band with Michael Loebs on guitar, Mark Underwood on bass, Joe Gusich on drums and Fancy's wife Hankerin' Jane Kilmer singing backup vocals. In 2008, the band made a pilgrimage to Nashville and recorded their debut album, Born Fancy, in a whirlwind 3 day session. At the end of 2009, they recorded in their own San Francisco at the legendary Tiny Telephone. Their second album, Sing to Survive, will be released on September 29, 2010.
