Gary Sinise, the main hero of the CSI New York series, has been all over the world to US armed services bases to visit and perform in his band the Lieutenant Dan Band ( Lt Dan Band). His band is made up of 14 musicians and 3 support staff all voluntary but professional musicians. They have travelled all over the world including once to Afgahnistan and 7 times to Iraq for nearly ten years to support the troops. Sinise underwrites the cost many times and when he is not shooting his episodes of CSI New York he is on the road supporting the troops expressing his thanks on behalf of all those who appreciate our troops’ service to our country.
He has said many times that even when he is shooting his series he gets requests to perform for the troops and will jump in an airplane on a Friday night pull an all nighter to perform on a Saturday and then make it back to the movie set location on Monday.
Sinise has a web site called the LTDanBand.com and this Fourth of July he is releasing the LTBandBand movie which is a concert of his performances to the troops. Watch this trailer. It is awesome. We have listened to part of his concerts and the music is absolutely awesome.
For 3.99 you can sign up to watch the LT Dan Band movie on the web this July 4th and the proceeds go to the troops. You can also buy the CD. What a wonderful way to show support for the troops.
Gary Sinise has become our modern day Bob Hope and we sure need one of those right now.
The Lt. Dan Band covers everything from Stevie Wonder and Jimi Hendrix classics to contemporary songs by Kelly Clarkson, Evanescence, Beyonce, Lonestar, the Zac Brown Band and much much more. Even tunes from the 40's big band era. There's something for everyone and each show highlights the musical diversity of the band, as well as the passion and energy each member brings to the stage. Whether performing for troops overseas or a local club crowd, the goal is to have fun and rock the house! Learn more about who's in the band by following the links below.
