The Dan Band Biography
Dan Finnerty caught America's attention as the foul-mouthed wedding singer in the box-office smash "Old School," performing his now infamous rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart," as well as his appearances as the sleazy bat mitzvah singer in "Starsky & Hutch" and his heartfelt version of 50 Cent's "Candy Shop" in Todd Phillips' hit "The Hangover."
What started as a drunken joke for Finnerty singing "I Am Woman" at a karaoke bar has spiraled out of control into The Dan Band -- a cult phenomenon that has garnered rave reviews from The New York Times, The L.A. Times, Variety, Rolling Stone among others, and prompted Entertainment Weekly to dub it: "The hottest ticket in Hollywood."
The Dan Band plays to sold-out crowds from Los Angeles to New York and has appeared on numerous shows including "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Last Call with Carson Daly," "Ellen," " The Late Late Show," Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards and eventually caught the attention of Steven Spielberg, who signed on to executive produce Dan's one-hour concert special "The Dan Band: I Am Woman," directed by McG.
Finnerty, a former member of the group STOMP, has released two CDs: "The Dan Band Live" followed by "Ho -- A Dan Band Christmas."
