After Daybreak- Sneak Peek Clip (ROUGH)

Q&A from Fans: Solo career over?

Q: Will you still do solo work?

A: Yes indeed.  Being a part of After Daybreak provides increased opportunites for me in the wonderful world of music and I will most definitely still do solo work as the schedule allows.

A New Venture: After Daybreak

The new pop/classical trio After Daybreak is about to release their debut album on November 9th, and I'm in it!  I became involved when producer/manger Andrew Bunel with Bandhouse Music Group contacted me out of the blue back in February of this year after having heard my album on CDBaby.com and asked if I was interested in being in this trio.  After liking his plans and all he had to say I told him I was in.  The other members are David Fritch and Drew Boushka and we all by pure coincidence lived in the same area of Utah at that time!  What are the odds of that!?  We started rehearsing together in April and recorded 6 songs that comprise the debut mini-album in May.  After a couple of months of nothing, we all got together at the end of August in Nashville to shoot the music video for our first single, "What a Wonderful World."  Now we are heavy into promotion in preparation for the album release date of November 9, 2010 on iTunes and Amazon.com.  These next few entries are video clips from the making of our music video for "What a Wonderful World."  You can stay tuned here, or the After Daybreak facebook page, OR the After Daybreak website, OR my facebook page, OR my website to watch things unfold to see if After Daybreak becomes the next big thing.  Will we be big all over the world?  Or maybe only in Malaysia? Or Singapore? Or just my neighborhood?  Either way, I'm in - should be a blast!!

SCERA Center for the Arts - Utah : Daniel Beck in Concert

Long time no blog. What is up with that? Well, I'll tell you. It's been a fun and busy summer. I've done a lot of private performances for Youth Conferences and girl's camps. A big chunk of the summer was spent getting our house ready to sell so we can move to the Sacramento area of California with my day job. No, we haven’t sold the home and moved yet – still in Utah. I've also spent some time getting ready for my next big project as a member of the new pop classical trio "After Daybreak." We've made a mini-album of 6 songs that will release on iTunes and Amazon.com on November 9th. I'll blog about that some tim in the next week as I will need everyone's help with promotion on that if you are game!

For now I want to let you all know that I'll be doing a concert at the SCERA Center Theatre on October 23rd. It's my first time performing as a headliner there and hope you will come. I'll be joined by my dear friend and superstar Jessie Funk who will sing some songs from her AWESOME new album "Dance in the Rain" and she will of course join me for a number or two.

This concert is likely to sell out so get your tickets soon because the good seats will go fast!! For more info and tickets call 801-225-ARTS (2787) or click the following link:

Looking forward to seeing you on October 23rd and stay tuned for more on After Daybreak! You are theee best!

Liken fans don't miss this!: Jonah and the Great Fish, live on stage!

Perhaps you are a Liken fan, perhaps you've never seen a Liken the Scritpures DVD, but here is a performance you will want to see if you are in the area of Orem, Utah Feb 5 through the 15th. I've had the fun opportunity to be in 4 films in the Liken the Scriptures DVD series produced between 2004 and 2006. When the economy changed production on any new projects had to stop for awhile. So here we are, after an entire three year absence, Liken's next DVD is first hitting the stage at the SCERA Centre Theatre in Orem, UT.

The cast that you will see on stage is the cast that you will see on the DVD. They are performing for the public at night and filming the musical portions of the DVD during the day over the course of the stage run.

I'm the one exception that will not be seen in the musical portion of the dvd. As you can see I have several other performing obligations over the course of the stage run and had counted myself out of the Jonah oppotrunity because of them. But the producers of Liken still called and said they wanted me to be the father of the modern day girl who is imagining the story of Jonah on the nights I'm available. Yahoo!!

So I'll also be in the stage production on the following nights: Feb 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 15 and I'm so excited to be reunited with some great friends - David Osmond as Jonah, Katherine Nelson as the Queen, J. Michael Bailey as The Capitan, and Jared Young as a leader of a gang of wicked Ninevites. The entire cast is phenomenal! And....even though I have a non-singing role in the production, it doesn't necessarily mean I won't be singing on the nights I'm there. (tease, tease)

Click here for further details and to get your tickets and I hope to see you there.......AND at the concert with Jessie in Salt Lake on the 5th or 6th...........AND at the concert in Logan on the 13th........and.....that's about it for now.......I think!

Choral Music is for Lovers with Jenny Jordan Frogley and Daniel Beck

Last summer I had the privelege of singing on the Kent Theater Stage at USU in Logan, UT with Craig Jessop's American Festival Chorus and orchestra. I shared the stage with Maureen McGovern and got to meet her and it was one of my favorite performing experiences of the year. So I'm thrilled to be asked back to Logan to perform with the incredible Jenny Jordan Frogley for this concert.

This concert is Saturday February 13th at 7:30 pm at the Kent Concert Hall, at Utah State Univeristy in Logan, UT. Click the following link for further info and tickets:
