Artist description
Being discovered and signed by Adam Duritz of Counting Crows was only the first step in success for this amazing band. Their critically acclaimed debut album, "Help Is On The Way", released on Duritz's label, "E-Pluribus Unum", launched the band on a whirlwind tour wich included an opening slot for the Wallflowers. If that wasn't enough, their hit single, "Following a Star" found it's way into a key scene in the hit movie "American Pie". With all of this taking place in the first year of their debut, one can only wonder what the next year will bring for this stellar group |

Artist History
Duke Daniels started out in 1996, and after making a spark on the club scene in Los Angeles at such dives as The Opium Den Duke caught the attention of one Adam Duritz, lead singer of Counting Crows. A year and a half later when Duritz launched his own record label, E Pluribus Unum (part of Interscope), Duke Daniels was one the first artists on the roster.Since then, Duke Daniels -- with Dan Clark on vocals and acoustic guitar -- has toured with The Wallflowers, Anne & Nancy Wilson of Heart, Old 97's, Keb' Mo', Lowen & Navarro, Young Dubliners, Violent Femmes, Cesar Rosas and a host of others.Its songs have been featured in this summer's box office smash, "American Pie," along with MTV's "Road Rules," and also on the Disney Channel. The band has just finished a a year-long tour for "Help is on the Way," garnering accolades from critics and fans alike, and is off to record a follow-up. |
