"I try to incorporate as many elements as I can to set my music apart from everyone else's," says Dan.
You can see this intertwining of styles in his debut album, titled simply: Dan Vaillancourt.
Dan began to record his first solo album, in late November of 1999. After 9 months of hard work in the studio, his debut was released in August 2000. The self-titled disc contains 12 original songs featuring a variety of musical techniques and instruments.
Dan plays much of his own accompaniment, and performs all of the vocals and backing vocals.
Some of the instruments that he plays on the album include: acoustic 12 & 6 string guitars, electric guitar, 5 string electric bass, acoustic bass, dobro, lapsteel, djembe and other percussion.
Some of the guest musicians add flavor to the album with mandolin, saxophone, harp, cello and baritone guitar, just to name a few.
