Lucky for me, I stumbled into the Constellation Side Stage just in time to catch Danny James and his Once and Future Band. Even their soundcheck was entertaining, backup Vocalist/Keyboard player Joel Robinow checking levels was funnier than your average stand-up comedian, and he was just being himself. Frontman Danny James, rocking a fringe-jacket and prog-sideburns, has a voice like a caramel s’more-- it’s warm, familiar, but in a wonderful surprise, a little salty. The best way to describe their sound is to imagine ELO, Steely Dan, and Yes going on a cruise ship, getting silly on Mai Tais and falling asleep under a palm frond. Their collected dreams would sound just like Danny James and his Once and Future Band. They’ve got everything you’d wanna like about Prog, but you can also dance to it. I also cannot stress enough how fantastic their stage presence is, especially Robinow’s. I want to have a beer with him so much that If he ran for president, I’d vote for him 69 times. - Noisey
