Inventive electric guitar riffs, plenty of funky grooves and witty insightful lyrics are the trademarks of Dan Doiron's distinctive brand of rockin' blues. His fourth album, "Livin' Centre Stage", furthers that tradition. The two time winner of the East Coast Blues Society's "Maritimes to Memphis" Competition, Dan is a blazin' spitfire guitarist with a six-string wall of sound who combines traditional and modern guitar influences with unique lyrics reflecting his views on everyday life that keep audiences engaged at every band and solo show.
"Thieves & Yesterdays" is a collection of songs that put a contemporary spin on soulful roots music. The bands first full length studio album and Dan's 3rd in the past 5 years. The Delta Struts are driven by the dynamic guitar playing duo of Dan Bubien and Shawn Mazzei, along with Bubien’s soulful gritty vocals. Their signature sound is highlighted by the precision playing and deep toned-full sound of drummer Mark Pollera and glued together by Christian Caputo’s steady, groove oriented bass playing. Rooted in soul versed in styles from blues to funk, roots-rock to reggae, alt-country to singer/songwriter, Dan and the "Delta Struts" are constantly refining and redefining their craft with a wide palette of tones and textures, sounds and styles, to express their songwriting through an open, honest and wide catalogue of real songs. The album was recorded and mixed over a year long process in Youngstown, OH at Amperon Recorder by Pete Drivere and mastered at Cauliflower Audio by Adam Boose.
