"Based in Rockford, IL, but born and raised in Tulsa, OK, Dan Maguire plays original rock and roll that, he says, “Takes you to a Summer day, just a few clouds, you smell cut grass and there is ice cold beer.” This is music that captivates listeners with its soul-stirring authenticity. Known for his dynamic guitar work and introspective lyrics, Maguire’s music resonates deeply with fans of Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chris Cornell, JJ Cale, and Kimbra, who are some of his biggest influences. Through his music, Maguire aspires to create moments of calm and assurance for listeners who may be wrestling with doubts and anxieties, offering a sense of optimism, even if only for a moment, that "maybe everything's gonna be okay."
