National Television Commercials/Jingles
I've been blessed to have been involved with
several major television commercials, and I loved it!!
Because I had such a diverse musical background,
I became a first call session vocalist.
One day I had to be Harry Connick Jr, and the next Paul McCartney, Paul Rogers. Robert Plant, or the Chi Lites. Some of the jingles I did were Transformers Gen 2,
Aliens 3 the voice and Space Marines, BC Powder,
Matchbox Lightning Key Cars, Bryans Hot Dogs,
Vintage Gourmet Ice Cream, Bealls Dept Stores,
Coors, New England Telephone, and many more.
I've had the privilege of singing with some of the greatest musicians I've ever known and proud to call some Bandmates. Artimus Pyle from Lynyrd Skynyrd,
Paul Warren (Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Joe Cocker),
Troy Luccketta from The Band Tesla, Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge, Rod Stewart, Cactus, Jeff Beck),
Vinnie Appice (Dio, Rick Derringer),
Kent Wells (Dolly Parton, Reba),
It was an honor to be a contestant on NBC The Voice, I was on Season 11, (click Full Episode), and privileged to be on Team Blake Shelton. My Blind Audition Song "Marry Me", by the group Train, has close to 3 MILLION Views, and my Battle Song "Feel Like Makin Love", by Bad Company, now over 2 MILLION Views and climbing.
“57 year old Dan Shafer traveled across the country to Los Angeles to appear on The Voice. After years of singing jingles, Dan stepped out on the stage and blew me away with Trains “Marry Me” His cover gave me chills and he sounded better than some of the male Artists on top 40 radio”

“Over the last 10 seasons of “The Voice”, I’ve seen a lot of incredible, impressive and memorable Battle Performances - But None compare to the performance we just saw from Team Blake members Dan Shafer and Sundance Head. The two singers absolutely crushed it, leaving me, the audience, and the judges at a standing ovation”
