About this user

Dan Granero began his 27-year musical journey at age three. Dans first musical influence was his father, Michael Granero who was lead guitarist in the band Ivory in the 1970's. Dan grew up in a household filled with many styles of music, from the flamenco style of his parents Spanish/Gibraltarian heritage, to blues, soul, roots, rock, reggae and gospel. Before long though young Dan was hooked on the blues/rock sounds of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and most importantly, the limitless possibilities of the Fender Stratocaster guitar. His journey to become a serious blues/rock guitarist had begun. Dan became devoted to his guitar. Many sleepless nights were spent teaching himself to play and write songs, with the dream of becoming a professional musician his ultimate goal. By the time he was thirteen the dream had come true and he was gigging professionally. In 1993, Dan was asked to perform live for the ABC TV program - "4 Corners". He was asked to perform his version of the William Roberts song that Jimi Hendrix covered and made famous, "Hey Joe". Over the next few years, Dan toured and recorded with many local and interstate artists, using the experience to constantly learn and improve his musical abilities. By 2000 Dan was very busy gigging with several bands, gained sponsorship/support from local music stores and was married. He continued to play his music part-time and work hard in numerous jobs. Unfortunately it wasnt to be all smooth sailing. The young Granero families' dreams came to a grinding halt in 2001 when Dan's daughter, Kayla Rose was tragically stillborn at 38 weeks. Its something Dan still finds difficult to talk about. In 2002 Dan was blessed when his daughter, Ebony Frances was born. Holding his precious child in his arms helped Dan realise that life was very much worth living and he resolved to get his life and music back on track. By January 2006 Dan had an endorsement with Fender Australia and had re-invented himself and his sound. His passion for music was back stronger than ever. He decided it was time to wake up and made the bold decision to give up his day job and re-devote himself totally to his musical mission. In 2007, Dan appeared on the TV program - "Song Writers Accross Australia", which was aired on Channel 31. He gained extensive radio airplay for his "Live @ Catho" album, nationally and internationally. Dan has also been a featured blues artist in many music publications, websites and music programmes around the world. August 3rd 2008 saw the 29-year-old, from the NSW Central Coast, playing his blistering brand of blues/rock to enthusiastic crowds throughout Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Dan performed with Hooter's Blues Band, feat. Maury "Hooter" Saslaff - Bass (USA), Pete Bogle (USA) - Drums in August and Asmus Jensen (DK) - Drums for September. Dan played in many different venues; from tiny pubs to huge outdoor blues festivals with crowds of thousands. Not that Dan is a stranger to enthusiastic crowds. Anyone on the East Coast of Australia who has been lucky enough to catch one of his shows in recent months knows that he is an artist who puts his heart and soul into every performance. Watching Dan and his beloved 79 Strat do their thing is a sight (and sound) to behold. Dan is doing his bit to keep the great Australian Blues/Rock tradition alive, with recent performances described as must see by Reverb Magazine. Dan is officially endorsed and supported by; FENDER AUSTRALIA, FENDER SCANDINAVIA, T-REX ENGINEERING, TURRAMURRA MUSIC CENTRE, SLIDER'S VINTAGE CLASSICS, PRO AUDIO SUPPLIES, MUSO'S CORNER and RODE MICROPHONES AUSTRALIA.
