Daniel Beck sing at "The Cultural Event of the Year in Clayton, Idaho."

So I'm home sick today and thought I would blog about one of my recent concerts. Back in September, Sharon May, who with her husband Paul, are owners and operators of the May Family Ranch near the town of Clayton, Idaho, invited me to do a little concert one evening since we would be spending a few days there for our family vacation. She said that she wanted to invite a few friends to hear me sing. I agreed because, hey, I'm a singer, it's what I do.

Well, not only did the whole town of Clayton turn out, people came from all the surrounding areas and we had pretty much almost double the population of Clayton out to what Sharon had been billing as, "The Cultural Eevent of the Year for Clayton, Idaho." It was a fun concert and the people there are wonderful. It was a great event that just gives further evidence that my star is definitely rising and I'm inching inevitably closer to becoming a huge star.......in Clayton, Idaho. Thank you Sharon and Paul!

EFY 2010 CD

Here's a bit of a teaser, I just recorded a lead vocal for the 2010 EFY cd. The song is one you may have heard of before called, "Lord, I Would Follow Thee" and was arranged by none other than Michael Hicks! I have yet to hear the final product but when I recorded it I meant every word I sang and hope that comes through in the recording to match the amazing arrangement.

Another Christmas Show added! Now opening for Jon Schmidt in Gilbert, AZ

It looks like I'll be opening for Jon Schmidt at his show in Gilbert, Arizona as well on December 11th. That one was up in the air but the promoter down there heard my cd, liked what they heard and invited me to come on down with Jon. Should be very cool! So if you know anyone in that area, tell them to come and be sure to let them know that I want to meet them.

For More details click here: Kids On The Move Concert Details

Kids On The Move is a non-profit organization that was started 25 years ago by 2 angel mothers who each had a child with Down syndrome and found that there was no community support or programs for those with children with development delays and learning disabilities. So Kids On The Move was born and today they provide support, therapy, and education for families with children birth to age 3 with learning disabilities. They also provide early education for children brith to age 3 from low-income families and do so for thousands of families annually. Help keep this amazing and necessary program strong by coming to this concert and bringing everyone you can.

I'll be performing with Joshua Creek, Holly Robbins, and Dyer Highway with the phenomenal entertainer Jason Hewlett as the MC. This will be a great show for a great cause so let's fill the place!!! There will also be a silent auction with donated items up for bid on display at the concert, and of course all proceeds from the silent auction also benefit Kids On The Move.

Sold Out Crowds at BYU Education Week

Just a quick post to say thanks to Dallyn Vail Bayles who gave me the thrill and privilege of performing in two sold out concerts with him this last week at BYU Education Week. Dallyn is currently in the Broadway touring company of "Phantom of the Opera." Dallyn had been booked by the Education Week committee to do 4 concerts this last week so he took time out from the tour to do so.

He did two concert's (Wed, and Fri) based on his Pearl Award winning album "Prayer." And on Tuesday and Thursday he did an Inspirational Broadway concert that I got to participate in. I sure loved the Education Week crowd which consisted of people from all over the country. Thank you again Dallyn and best of luck in all you do!!! Go get 'em!!
