Dan Shafer was in a number of bands growing up, then got into recording jingles, for everything from beverage companies to TV shows, including Transformers. When his son turned 11, the family found out he had Crohn’s Disease and Dan had to get a job that offered insurance, so he became a salesman for a beverage company. Fast forward to 2017 and Dan was selected to perform on season 11 of NBC's The Voice, an opportunity to pick up music where he left off 30 years ago. Blake Shelton picked Shafer as a team member and he advance to the battle rounds. The videos of his performances on The Voice have been viewed several million times on YouTube.
Brooks Forsyth is a musician and songwriter from Boone, North Carolina. Brooks' musical style encompasses a variety of genres, particularly within Americana: folk, country blues, bluegrass and roots rock. His versatile guitar style consists of both flatpicking and fingerpicking. He just recorded an album with Buzz and Parker Cason at Creative Workshop. He's an accomplished guitarist and singer you will enjoy!
