What started as a drunken joke for Dan Finnerty - singing I Am Woman at a karaoke bar - has spiraled out of control into The Dan Band. A cult phenomenon that has garnered rave reviews from The New York Times, The L.A. Times, Variety and Rolling Stone, among others, caught the attention of Steven Spielberg, who signed on to executive produce Dan's one hour concert special "The Dan Band: I Am Woman."

Finnerty first caught America's attention as the foul-mouthed wedding singer in the box-office smash "Old School," performing his now-infamous rendition of Total Eclipse of the Heart. He also made an appearance as the sleazy bat-mitzvah singer in "Starsky & Hutch," and was most recently seen in the cult classic, "The Hangover."

The Dan Band plays to sold-out crowds from Los Angeles to New York and has appeared on numerous shows, including Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Call with Carson Daly, Ellen, The Late Late Show and Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards. Finnerty, a former member of the group Stomp, has released two CDs: "The Dan Band Live" followed by "Ho - A Dan Band Christmas."
