Dan Day - Founder/Drums
Dan is a drummer/percussionist based in London, currently playing drums for the award winning 'Dear Evan Hansen' (Noel Coward Theatre, West End).
Dan began playing drums at the age of three, eventually going on to study at Chetham’s School Of Music and The Royal College Of Music.
Dan’s love for country music began in 2012 when he came across Rascal Flatt’s ‘What Hurts The Most’ and thanks to Spotify’s related artists, was sent down a rabbit hole of country music, past and present.
‘Nashville Jukebox’ was initally concieved back in 2017 as a side project to performing in musical theatre. Never really expecting it to see the light of day, Dan started transcribing scores for various country songs. In 2018, Dan was offered his first West End chair on the Olivier Award winning (Best New Musical and Outstanding Achievement In Music) production of ‘Come From Away’ and the NJ project was put on the sidelines.
Then comes 2019 and the Covid pandemic. Like every musician in the country, Dan was out of work and suddenly had alot of time to spare so he teamed up with friend and guitarist Tom Coppin and began putting together over 40 songs and Nashville Jukebox was born!
“I’m so excited for people to hear what we have spent the past two years putting together and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I know we will enjoy playing it!” - Dan
