About Dan
Emerald Coast Boy… World Class Sound
I grew up steeped in the music scene of Pensacola and the Gulf Coast. My grandfather Lt. Col Jim Robinson was a jazz guitarist and at one time President of The Pensacola Jazz Society and my parents Vic & Maura Jones became professional musicians, playing in many popular bands in the area and then across the country, eventually landing in the Entertainment Capital of the World: Las Vegas. Nevada.
In the mid-2000s, I joined the family band "Melodious Jones" on cruise ships, traveling to dozens of destinations and playing for thousands of different people from all walks of life. With hundreds of new songs & several years of solid experience under my belt, I set out to conquer Las Vegas, earning coveted spots on Fremont Street, The Mt Charleston Lodge and later Mandalay Bay, House of Blues & more.
Sojurn In The Desert
Having fully established myself as a premier entertainer in Las Vegas, I was then called out to Scottsdale, AZ to join Marley Taylor from the most high profile band in Vegas: "Zowie Bowie". In our multi-year residency at Mastro's Ocean Club, we crafted our signature blend of class & all-night revelry as I continued to expand my repertoire. My spontaneous and request-driven performance style was beginning to take shape.
As I continued to expand my musicianship, reputation & connections, I became the principal Bandleader & MC of "The Lucky Devils Band", essentially a talent pool of the best musicians throughout the Southwest & West Coast, from San Francisco, San Diego & Los Angeles, to Las Vegas, Phoenix & Tucson.
With the very best in my band (sometimes guys with double-Doctorates of Music Arts), we rocked everything from high-profile weddings (Vince Vaughn was the best man at one!) & corporate clients like Intel & The Phoenix Open 'til the break of dawn. Being surrounded by so much talent and musical expertise pushed me to continually up my game
Back To My Roots
With the responsibility of being a new husband and father foremost in my mind, the lockdowns of 2020 gave me time to reflect on what was most important, so I hatched a plan to move my family back home to Pensacola. I attended Southwest Institute of Healing Arts where I completed a comprehensive 750 Hour Certification in Massage Therapy in order to expand beyond music and into a more "hands-on" approach to serving the world.
With a lifetime of musical knowledge and a new wellness-oriented mindset, my wife Crystal and I opened Lovelock Healing Arts in Dowtown Pensacola on January 21, 2022.
While networking for our business, I stumbled into a gig that turned out to be the culmination of my decades of musical experience as a featured player in the Rosie O'Grady's Dueling Piano Show at Seville Quarter. Digging deep into my now vast repertoire every night and pushing me into new territory
