YouTube Video
This nationally recognized band features Academy Award Nominee Actor
Gary Sinise!
The Lt. Dan Band covers everything from Springsteen to Linkin Park, from
Aretha to Hendrix. There's something for everyone, and each show
hilights the musical diversity of the band, as well as the passion and
energy each member brings to the stage. Whether we'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 miliary also seem to identify
strongly with the character. And so the name for his group was an easy
choice: Lt. Dan Band!
