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:
