Hi, I’m Dan. I’m a whiskey & beer drinking, fishing & hunting loving, motorcycle riding, quality food eating, hippie sympathizing, people-loving, husband & father who lives in Minneapolis and shares a life with my amazing wife and two adorable sons named Oak and Alder. I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, MI, and moved to Minneapolis when I was 18 to study music, and I stayed because I’m one of those crazy people that enjoys the snow and cold weather.

Music is my trade & performing it for people is my passion. When I’m not in my studio writing songs and cutting records, or on the road playing shows, I’m usually tending to our backyard chickens, eating fresh veggies from my wife’s huge garden, making syrup from our city maples, or doing one of my many outdoor hobbies.

Now here are a few things about Dan’s music career that he thinks he should probably share ~

• In September 2014 Budweiser released their "Friends Are Waiting" commercial campaign featuring Dan Rodriguez singing his song When You Come Home and it premiered during the Super Bowl.

• In February 2018, Dan released his newest album 25 Years, it is the most prolific and widely distributed album to date, featuring songs that have been placed in major ads as well as widely played Spotify playlists.

• In October 2018, Miller Lite featured his newest single “So Good” in one of their commercials that played for months during NFL games on ESPN & more.

• In March 2019, his song “You Feel Like Home” was featured in Explore Minnesota Tourism’s newest ad campaign.

• Over the years Dan had the honor of sharing the stage with some really cool artists & bands including The Civil Wars, Andy Grammer, Eric Hutchinson, Matt Nathanson, NeedtoBreathe, Augustana, Tyrone Wells, Haley Reinhart, John McLaughlin, Will Hoge, Drew Holcomb, Sister Hazel, and more.
