The Legend of Rant and Roar
Veteran musicians and drinkers Jeff Reed (upper right of side photo) and Dan Webb (lower left) had a dream. That dream was to travel from town to town and sing sea shanties at the top of their lungs.
Their five year mission is to meet strange new people, wearing strange, old clothes. Boldy pounding the drum and mandolin while green skinned slave girls bring them seafood and exotic rums.
And then, at the end of that mission, to die of unnatural causes.
BAND BIO'S
Rant & Roar has been Wowing audiences up and down the east coast from
Dan Webb – At a very early age Dan found himself strangly drawn to the old Mandolin that hung on his grandfather’s wall. Every time his family visited his grandparent’s house he would disappear into that smelly old room and strum it. His grandfather died shortly thereafter, but while visiting grandma after the funeral, young Dan took it upon himself to remove the mandolin from the wall and hide it in the trunk of the family car. Days later when his parents found the mandolin in his room ( to his surprise ) he was not punished. Later on in high school Dan discovered that foul instrument known as the “electric guitar” and his life was then changed In odd and debaucherous ways he could have never foresaw. Like a Gypsy he went from rock band to rock band, spending all he earned on new and better guitars, louder amps, overpriced effects pedals, and odorous organic substances. All the while grandfather’s mandolin patiently hung on the wall gathering dust and waiting. After 5 years of being a singer songwriter and then a short stint as a masked Mexican wrestler Dan stumbled upon a Celtic festival where he heard something he never heard before………… melody. The Mandolin came off the wall that night and the electric guitar was sold. Dan then went to every music shop he knew of and checked their bulletin boards for traditional musicians wanting to Jam. He answered Jeff and Ed’s ad and was very impressed with the sheer un-amplified volume of sound they could put out, and also the sheer volume of alcohol they could consume. Dan plays the mandolin with an unnatural energy that frightens children of all ages…and they say his voice is like very old butter.
