feature on The Dan Sheehan Conspiracy w/cover photo
Who: Dan Sheehan is an area rock guitarist, songwriter, and singer who has performed with his band at many local venues, including The Zebra Club in Copiague and The End Zone in Whitestone, and has opened for Randy Jackson and Erocktica. This, his first self-titled CD, was recently released, and the CD release party was at The Parkside Lounge in New York City. He also has performed with the rock group Banter.
What: The album is guitar-driven rock with a touch of pop -- and a surprising political bent on such tracks as opener "The Valley" and "Collateral Damage." Other musicians on the disc include Spencer Cobrin and Roi Star on drums, as Sheehan performs on the rest of the instruments himself. The disc was recorded at several venues in New York and New Jersey. This disc was recently featured on WBAB and on the Live365.com music website. At live shows, The Dan Sheehan Conspiracy consists of Sheehan, Bobby King Baby and bassist Michael Lynch.
