Dan
Dan Kannen: Dan is the guitarist of The Distant Fourth. He describes their music as dynamic and has been playing guitar for only six years. In those six years, his skill has definitely come a long way. Bands that inspire him are Between the Buried and Me, Dream Theater, and Miles Davis. “I’m going to University of Rochester for engineering next year, but I have full intentions to keep the band humming along on my end. I have a few non-metal side projects going on right now. I actually play in an entirely acoustic combo and [the acoustic combo has] shows scattered through February. But again I feel like anything I pursue in the future, I’ll always have The Distant Fourth, provided the other guys have the same mindset.”
