Biography

DAN REED
“COMING UP FOR AIR”
Released: 27th May 2010

Dan Reed was born in Portland, Oregon, but in early childhood moved to South Dakota after his mother remarried the owner of a cattle ranch. Growing up on 2000 acre’s of land as an only child gave Dan plenty of time to daydream and it was here, riding tractor in the summer sun that Dan first fantasized about becoming a musician while listening to the Doobie Brothers, Kiss, Cheap Trick and Van Halen blaring on the tractor cabs’ AM radio. All through his high school years he played trumpet in the school band, while studying Shoto-Kan Karate, and participating in every sport he could get his hands and feet in to, but it wasn’t until a Japanese exchange student named Tsutomu Oki taught him how to play guitar that Dan realized that this was what he was searching for… the world of writing songs. After graduating from Aberdeen, South Dakota’s Central High School, he packed his bags and headed west to Portland, Oregon… his place of birth and the closest ‘big city’ he could find near the ocean, a place he held in his childhood memory and missed dearly living in the Midwest.

Although there were many incarnations of bands Dan performed with in South Dakota and in Portland it was in December of 1985 where he truly first began his musical journey as the founder and lead singer of the band “The Dan Reed Network”.
