Dan Webb's Music Career

Early Music Journey

Dan Webb started his music career with exciting and partly improvised live shows. "Improvised" means he made up some parts of the music on the spot. People noticed his energetic performances. One cool thing he often did was play his keyboard behind his back. This was a bit like how the famous guitarist Jimi Hendrix used to play his guitar.

Over the years, Dan Webb has worked with many other artists. These include Greg Saunier, Kylie Auldist, and Bobby Flynn. He also collaborated with actress Ashleigh Cummings. The horn sections from popular bands like The Cat Empire and The Black Seeds have also joined him.

Dan Webb went on his biggest Australian tour in early 2013. He played seven shows in January and February. After this tour, he announced he would take a break from live performances for a while.
