The Lt. Dan Band covers everything from Springsteen to Linkin Park, from Aretha to Hendrix. There’s something for everyone, and each show highlights the musical diversity of the band, as well as the passion and energy each member brings to the stage. Whether they’re performing for troops overseas or a local club crowd, the goal is to have fun and rock the house! “Lieutenant Dan” is the character Gary portrayed in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, a role for which he earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. As Gary began visiting troops around the world, people, even little kids, who didn’t know him as Gary Sinise, the actor, would recognize him as “Lt. Dan.” Those in the military identify strongly with the character. And so the name for his group was an easy choice. The Lt. Dan Band continues to crank up parties everywhere!
