Jeff Daniels | Night One

Jeff Daniels returns to the Ore Dock Brewing Co. for three magnificent nights! In 1976, Jeff Daniels bought a Guild D-40 from Herb David’s Guitar Studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan, threw it in the back of his old Buick, and moved to New York City. That guitar led to a creative outlet, became a solace, a road into the artist that he didn’t know existed. Now, over 40 years later, he’s still writing songs, singing them, and playing. Since 2000, Jeff has played at some infamous venues across the country. With his son's band, the Ben Daniels Band, he has toured both coasts. He has shared the stage with Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely, Cheryl Wheeler and beyond. He performed at David Bromberg's 70th Birthday Bash at NYC's Town Hall."In 1966, I moved to New York City to become an actor. What I didn't plan on was being so influenced by so many Off Broadway playwrights. In particular, Lanford Wilson, who would later go on to win a Pulitzer Prize for his play TALLEY'S FOLLY. Lanford taught me so much about the writing process, imagery, the love/hate relationship one has with such a solitary pursuit and the endless rewriting as you search for a better way to say it. In Hollywood, the joke is if you ask any actor what he really wants to do, he'll say "Direct." Not me. I wanted to write. So I did. With a guitar in my hands." - Jeff DanielsDoors open @ 6pmShow starts @ 7pm$55 • No Refunds
