RockerMike and Rob Presents: Daniel Shaw Uppercase D and The lowercases
Guitar was the first instrument that captured Daniel’s attention. Next was drumming. He wore headphones and studied In-a-gadda-da-vida every day, memorizing the drum solo and every little nuance of the recording. He also enjoyed singing along with the band Foreigner while his dad recorded it on the stereo. From age 4-11 it was air jamming,but guitar lessons changed his world.
Taught to play by ear along with Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, etc, D quickly learned all of his favorite songs on electric guitar and air drums. Locking himself in the room with War Pigs screaming through his amp placed in the window, facing OUT, a small crowd would gather to enjoy his ability to play along.
D played bass and guitar in numerous bands from his late teens to late 30’s.
Growing up in Woodstock NY, he was sharing stages with the coolest local acts.
His musical style ranges from rock, metal, punk, funk, to trippy grooves.
D taught himself to play bass and NOT air drums by age 20.
Utilizing his understanding of song structure, ability to play every instrument, sing, and intense focus on the mixing aspect, D began recording onto 4-track cassette.
Finally the DR-880 Dr. Rhythm became a staple in 2008.
Daniel finally had a way to create all of his original and cover songs with bass and drum patterns to work with.
He spent hours on little details, testing mixdowns on various sound systems to ensure a well-balanced mix.
Along the way he started making his own music videos. Using a phone or tablet for editing, and music apps, Caustic3 and Fruity Loops became the focus until present. He was never into electronic music and decided to embrace it’s wonderful existence with the intention of adding a human feel.
Now he’s been mixing it all. He built a vocal booth and has a small 32-track home studio.
His works are posted on social media.
Daniel Shaw was the guitarist in a band called SPB
