Sun soaked guitar spiel with Alt-Pop immediacy. File under Ray Davies or Tom Petty.
— Mojophenia

Melancholic with a surefire guitar or a catchy piano melody, slowly blossoming with graceful strings and a velvet backing vocals.
— Alt Country Forum (translated from Dutch)

Whatever the question, Happy to See Me is one mighty fine answer.
— Write.Click.Cook.Listen

You get the Ray Davies/Elvis Costello/Bruce Springsteen influences throughout. It’s a fun listen, to be sure.
— Sonic Masala

Written over the course of several years in between Nashville and Boston, Happy to See Me is a record about changes——lots and lots of changes. A smart mix of Ray Davies and east coast cool, Happy to See Me is a midnight run through the trials and tribulations associated with becoming comfortable in one's own skin. Better late than never. The album is Dan's solo debut album, and features help from old friends Mike Quinn (Moontower / Q Division, and Kurt von Stetten.
