Multi-talented singer-guitarist-songwriter Dan Kirkpatrick hails from the Midwest, and has been veteran of many touring rock bands before moving to Hollywood where he led his own bands, including the critically acclaimed blues band ”Earl Seratte and The Blues Kings”, who toured extensively in the Southern California area for many years. Their CD release “Verite” had what reviewers called “a great combination of traditional blues, swing and modern rock-style songs delivered with panache and makes this band a must see if they hit a club near you”. Dan now is a guitarist/singer and member of the Pink Floyd tribute band Eclipsed By The Wall, which also includes guitarist Eddy Cusani, singer Ray Hernandez, drummer Theo Mordey, keyboardist/sax player Dan Cowan and bassist/singer Rick Zaccaro, eclipsedbythewall.com.
In the last few years Dan has had songs featured in film and television, including the recent Fox show "The Goodwin Games", the NBC hit series’ “My Name Is Earl” and Showtime’s “Huff” along with A&E’s “Biography”. His work can also be heard in the feature film “The Other Brother”, the film short “ Lyla Wolf: (Infractus)” and his playing on Julie Brown’s recent “Smell The Glamour” release. He can also be heard on many indie studio projects including The Showdown Stage Production recordings of “Wild Dust… The Musical”, “Bergeracky”, “Peter Panic” and “Nottingham” to name a few.
Influenced by blues and rock legends Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, among many others, Dan Kirkpatrick has developed a style all his own. A potent amalgam of traditional blues with the dynamic intensity of rock & R&B, Kirkpatrick has created a soulful sound based on traditional blues but with a rock/pop edge. From the Beatles to James Taylor to Keb Mo, Dan either can rock the house with his original searing electric blues and acoustic down home blues, or keep it mellow with his wide range of eclectic artists that he covers.
