Drummer for Geoff Tate (founding member/vocalist of Queensrÿche) as well as Mark Daly & The Ravens — Danny Laverde is my guest this week! Danny has toured and performed across multiple countries. He gained early recognition from Modern Drummer magazine as an up-and-coming drummer in 2019 while touring with Mick Blankenship. Danny is Colombian-American, born in Los Angeles and raised in Cincinnati, OH. He is experienced in rock, prog metal, jazz fusion and Afro Cuban drumming. Danny met me in downtown Cincy during a rare break from the road. We talk about life on the road, his playing style & setup, influences & much more. Enjoy this conversation — and be sure to follow Danny on social media for all touring updates w/Geoff Tate & Mark Daly!

The only Lowell Shepura on the PLANET makes an appearance on Dan Time! I have been fortunate to call Lowell a friend for over 25 years. Lowell is a guy who isn't afraid to tell you exactly how he feels on any given subject. We talk about the uniqueness of the name, sports talk, fantasy football bonds, and a few wild card questions only heard on the Dan Time Podcast! PLUS, Lowell shares a never-before-told story about how a kid in high school befriended him when he was the new guy. You won't want to miss it. Lowell holds a Masters of Engineering in Construction Management from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).

Dan Maines, bassist and founding member of the iconic hard rock band CLUTCH, is my guest this week! Dan and I connected just before Clutch's show at Vinyl Music Hall in Pensacola on May 12. We talk touring, family, record label changes & what keeps Clutch going after all these years. The band released its 13th full-length album Sunrise on Slaughter Beach on September 16, 2022.
Dan describes the special bond he shares with the other three members of the band — all of whom met while attending Seneca Valley High School in Germantown, MD 35 years ago. The foursome have continuously recorded and toured since the release of their first independent EP Pitchfork in 1991.
Clutch wraps up its April/May New World Samarai Tour on May 19 — then embarks on its first tour of Latin America on July 18! The band returns to North America for a September/October "Two-Headed Beast" co-headlining tour with Rival Sons.
Dan plays the Fender Precision Bass, Rickenbacker 4003 & Gibson EB-3 Bass.
Be sure to visit Clutch's web site for merch, tour & band news — and follow the band across the socials. You can find the limited edition Transnational Speedway League signed 12" LP; Sunrise on Slaughter Beach 7" Box Set (Limited), CDs, apparel & more.

For those of you longtime Dan Time listeners, you may have lost hope for the next BONUS episode to arrive! Well, you're finally in luck. I caught up with my older brother Robert (his first appearance on the podcast since the famed Halloween 2023 episode) and we unpack his family beach vacation in Panama City Beach, FL. We also reminisce about childhood PCB beach trips. You're going to want to grab your beach umbrella, put on your swimwear, put a cold beverage in a coozie and hit the sand. Don't forget the sunblock! As always, Rob never disappoints. Enjoy this little nugget of an episode.
