Emmy-winning actor, musician and Michigan native Jeff Daniels comes to Dogwood Center with the Ben Daniels Band on Monday, November 6 at 7:30 p.m.
Jeff Daniels, known for such blockbusters as The Divergent Series: Allegiant/Ascendant, Steve Jobs, The Newsroom, and Dumb And Dumber, bought a Guild D-40 in 1976 from Herb David’s Guitar Studio in Ann Arbor, 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 releases his 8th record, Simple Truths, and is touring the area with the Ben Daniels Band.
On his album, Days Like These, Jeff Daniels and the Ben Daniels Band recorded songs that often were inspired by his career. For instance, the idea for the bluegrass-y Now You Know You Can comes from the filming of the pilot of The Newsroom, the HBO drama for which he won an Emmy playing Will McAvoy, anchor of a cable newscast.
When Ben Daniels decided he was going to be a musician, it was more than a career choice. As the son of Jeff, he has quietly monitored what it takes to live life as an artist. Beyond a passed down talent, the Ben Daniels Band believes in hard work, perseverance, and creatively challenging themselves and their audience.
With Tommy Reifel on bass, Wesley Fritezmeier on drums/mandolin, and Amanda Daniels on percussion/vocals, the Ben Daniels Band has a sound that spans Americana, Blues, Jazz, and Rock.
Tickets are $27.50 and seating is reserved. Tickets are available online at www.dogwoodcenter.com, at the Dogwood Box Office, or at NCCA-Artsplace in downtown Fremont.
