Welcome to my blog. It's an attempt to show the quirkier parts of my life...to anyone who's interested, that is.

Hey beautiful (yes, I’m talking to you)!

Just wanted to write a quick blog saying thank you to everyone who is waiting it out with us. It’s taken us a long time to write this record, but I assure you, it’s going to be worth the wait. We’re sitting on about 30 songs now, 10-12 of which will make up our best record to date! I don’t plan on stopping the writing until we’re out of the studio. Hell, I plan on writing continuously, I’ve learned that the more I do it, the better the songs get. You’d think I’d run out of content… I haven’t yet! So until I do, it’s writing, writing, writing! Thinking about whipping up another acoustic Christmas song for you. Whatcha think? Have you heard this one I did in 2008?  

Again, thank you for sticking with us. This Prov has many years of life left in it, we’re still very much a band, and honestly I don’t think we’ve been more excited to make a record than we are now. Hang in there, and have a wonderful holiday! OXOXOXOX,

-Dan

YOU, ME AN ACOUSTIC AND A TREE!

Please…PLEASE, join me this Thursday as I play a handful of Christmas songs among a few This Prov tunes!

I’ll be doing the set through a site called Stage It. There are limited tickets available so don’t miss out. It may seem weird to pay for an online performance, but I’ve done one of these before and the thing I really love about it is the intimacy. It gives me a chance to really interact and chat with everyone. It feels special.

But the thing that really makes this special -  all proceeds will benefit Charity Water. This is a great organization that works to provide clean drinking water to people in developing countries. If Christmas is about giving, than this is a pretty sweet way to do so!

Check it out, buy a ticket, and I’ll see you there,

-Dan

90% of the 30,000 deaths that occur every week from unsafe water and unhygienic living conditions are of children under five years old. Many of these diseases are preventable. The UN predicts that one tenth of the global disease burden can be prevented simply by improving water supply and sanitation. - charitywater.org/whywater/

So…

I haven’t posted a reg-blog in a while. Honestly, I’ve been going through some shit. And by shit I mean anxiety. I’ll explain later, that’s not the point of this quick blog. The point is, I’ve never been more excited about my songs. And that’s because, as always, I’ve written myself into our songs, but this next record will show more. I’m going to really start opening up. “Cut the shit.” That’s what the record will say, and that’s how I will live. No point fucking around, life is too short for bullshit. -Dan

fueledbyramen: from Dan Fuckin’ Young of This Providence: About 2 weeks ago I became a home-owner. Yep, the mrs and I bought our first house! It’s moments like this when I think about how strange and beautiful life has been for me. I was in a hurry to get started. I surprised my parents with my coming existence in the first year of their marriage and soon after I was born they bought their first house. I’m told it was a shit-box then, but Dad never stopped banging a hammer on the thing. He was constantly (and slowly) fixing it and adding to it. He likes to do that stuff…me, not as much. By the time I was 16, when we moved to the states, it was an charming and inviting little home. I loved that place so much. In “Chasing The Wind” I even wrote of the pink-painted treehouse sitting in the fork of a weeping willow in our backyard. It was home. Now, 10 years after leaving that house, I finally have my own home! It’s really exciting, but it too is a little fixer-upper. I imagine my situation must be similar to my parents (minus the kids). Since the day we got the keys I have been slaving away dismantling and reassembling the kitchen, laundry and bathroom. I’m so sore right now, but I can’t wait till it’s done and we move in and I can punch a hole in the wall if I get really excited and I won’t have to pay anyone anything! I could just leave the hole and store treats in it! Oh and I want a veggie patch. George Harrison was a gardener and he said it helped with his song writing, I like that idea. I’m going to be a gardener too! Ok, that’s all I got right now. Thanks. Cheers. Bye. Dan P.S. Here’s a picture of Andy flexing and my dad carefully inspecting our work (he’s an excessive perfectionist).

andyhorst: I remember the days I played inferior cymbals.  Play Meinl.  They’re superior. www.meinlcymbals.com Wow! Who took this awesome photo? I did. I’m the bomb. Remember when it was so gnarly and radical to be “the bomb”? Me neither. I’m the bomb.com (that’s what’s cool to say nowadays (no it’s not)).
