Hi everybody. Nice to meet you. I'm a total dork.
Thanks for listening to the music and reading this... I've been blessed to be able to travel around and play lots of music and I thank you for making that possible... I know I can't do it without you.
I like stories...so free to contact me with good stories, small talk, comments, questions, curious anecdotes or whatever! Yes, I run my own myspace and I read everything you write to me and I like reading it... I love you guys and think you are pretty darn awesome. If you enjoy the tunes, tell your friends.
I'm in the last stages of finishing up my new studio album and you are going to love it! I need some help to raise enough money to finish the album... so ummm... Check Out The All-New Merch Page and buy something fun or donate a few bucks: http://danvaillancourt.com/merch.php
I am now going to complete the rest of the bio by inconspicuously writing in the third person. :)

WHAT IS HE REALLY LIKE?
Dan Vaillancourt is a pretty big dork and a pretty simple guy. He gets really excited about things like food, vegetable gardens, good coffee, intriguing conversations, Christopher Moore books, NPR, Coast to Coast AM and great scenery. His normal attire is jeans and a t-shirt that was probably given to him from a festival, venue, musician or something of the like. He hasn't owned a comb in a dozen years or more. He shaves every few weeks. Chances are that his laptop, car and coffeepot are older than yours. He doesn't own many non-music related items. He has had an array of jobs over the years including but not limited to: Paperboy, Small Engine Repairman, Computer Lab Attendant, Landscaper, Jewelery Maker and many more. He went to college and graduated with a degree in Cultural Anthropology and World Religion. Now he is a full-time touring musician and music teacher.
