Contact re: potential acoustic performances.
No other band, specifically in Chicago, can compare to performing the music of Creedence. Dan has been there, done that, proven himself time & time again with Creedence Clearwater Revisited and Blue Moon Swamp. Endorsed by co-founding CCR members and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers.
Performing the songs of Creedence Clearwater Revival, plus Dan's original songs & those of the band Ween. Depending on the event. Formerly toured by the name "Blue Moon Swamp". Reach out to start the conversation for a great night of music.
Check out Revisiting Creedence here on Gig Salad also. Dan's main Creedence celebration act.
Hired them for a private party at 210 LIVE and to say they impressed all is an understatement! They sounded fantastic! So fun. Dan’s voice is unbelievable. They were the hit of our party!
Super easy to work with and very professional.
Our concert series, Tri-State Concert Association brought in Blue Moon Swamp / CCR - John Fogerty tribute. Wow, what a night! They had the crowd from note one. Great guys, easy to work with .... a wonderful evening all around. Audience so pleased, we've had tons of requests for return. Highly recommend
We attended the show at M Resort in Nevada November 16 and BMS with Dan McGuinness rocked the house. Audience started cheering as soon as the opening song started. This is a true tribute to John Fogerty and the CCR music. I've seen a Fogerty/CCR concert and this band is true to all the music and Dan McGuinness has the voice and movements of John Fogerty totally. The songs they played brought back so many memories, but there were some fresh new feelings too. The show list included all the biggest hits, plus extras. "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Lodi", "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?", "Bad Moon Risin'", "Fortunate Son", "Down on the Corner", "Doo,Doo,Doo (Lookin' Out My Back Door)", "Born on the Bayou", and a goose-bump, tear-jerking version of "Deja Vu". They played a full concert, with people dancing, clapping, and singing along. At the end, when people were cheering and didn't want it to end, they played a number of encores, including "Proud Mary". They did a 9 minute version of "Susie Q", as on the original album. We would travel to see them and know they have fans all over the country. Can't wait to see where they will be next. M Resort was also a great place to stay. Nice people everywhere, from front desk to restaurants to shuttle drivers. Hope to see BMS again soon.
My wife and I attended their concert last night (November 16, 2013). I have been a fan of CCR since my Air Force days in the late 60's. The concert was held in what could be best described as a large Quonset hut. The acoustics were terrible, so the bands sound was not what it should have been. This is the first time we heard BMS. The group concentrated mostly on the "country" side of CCR and pretty much ignored the "rock n roll" side. They skipped most of CCR's top songs and did a half hearted effort on Susie Q, in fact, they didn't even finish it, just stopped. Strange I thought. Many people left the showroom before they finished. Please guys, dump the country and stick with the rock.
I played in front of these guys and i had the opportunity to watch their show and hang out with them afterwards. I thought they did a great job of engaging the audience and doing honor to the origianl CCR!
My husband and I attended the Lebowski Fest held at the Portage Theater on the North side of Chicago and it was like a big party - good music, dancing and a whole bunch of fun. The previous year I attended the Lebowski fest with with several friends and we had a blast! Blue Moon Swamp is a great band and Dan has a great voice, along with his band-mates -they're great! I've also been to Brazil, IN and twice when they played at the Harley event in St. Louis. The guys are friendly and great musicians... love em!
These guys are awesome!!! If you are an event planner you can't go wrong in hiring this group. They will make you a star in your organization. They never fail to deliver a rockin' performance and the crowd loves them.
If you are looking for entertainment that the community will be talking about long after it is over...this is the group. Easy to work with and very interactive with audience. You can't go wrong. 5 stars for sure!!!
Blue Moon Swamp performed for an audience of 12,000 people and rocked the park! Despite some challenging circumstances (heat, technical difficulties) they never lost their composure and put on an incredible, high energy show. Their sound is awesome and they are great people to work with. Highly recommend!
As a long time fan of CCR/John Fogerty and one who has followed John Fogerty performances around the world, I have too much to say about too many BMS performances to single out a gig, thus this a generalized review. I've followed BMS for years, and whether it be the Clay Co. Festival, New Year's Eve.at the Liberty in Ft.Scott,Ks., or a gig booked for a promo event such as the Harley Davidson dealership in St.Peters, Mo. to name just a few, BMS continues to perform the timeless classic CCR/John Fogerty tunes in the authentic spirit and sound that gives them the CREDENCE that they deserve. I've seen and heard those tunes performed by others through the years and in my opinion, none compares to BMS. Note per note, the instrumentals, and the awesome vocals of Dan McGuinness will delight you and leave you wanting more and more. BMS is booking all around the country as their popularity grows, so check out their tour link and watch for them near your area. If they're not performing near you, it's worth the time and effort to travel to see them. It's hard to put an experience into words, so hopefully you'll experience it for yourself!
LOVED the show, love the Creedence music. Blue Moon Swamp are by far the best tribute group for the CCR music. Hope to see them again - thanks for coming to our town.
this band played before a sox vs. cubs game at sox park. excellent. had the crowd singing and clapping. lead singer has a wonderful voice. would highly recommend if you love that type of music
Blue Moon swamp is awesome! My husband and I saw them perform for the first time tonight and they rocked!!! Would definitely go hear them again. Keep up the great work guys. We almost thought John Fogerty and his band CCR were there. Had a great night of entertainment. Thank you.

Dan's eagerness to connect with audiences & deliver a high-energy, enjoyable experience at every show is the goal. Whether you recognize the song or not, people enjoy his performances.
If covering a song, expect to hear full-effort, respectful rendition of a popular song. Dan routinely covers songs by Ween, Neil Diamond, CCR & other lil surprises.
To call Dan McGuinness a singer is an understatement.
Dan’s voice harkens a listener’s memory back to a time when Blue Eyed Soul ruled the radio. Full and powerful, Dan’s voice can go from edgy and rough to soft and delicate in an instant. His incredible range and perfect pitch are complimented by his expert technique and his soft touch.
In constant demand as a singer, songwriter, performer and radio broadcaster, Dan is no longer Chicago’s best-kept secret. As a fan of CCR, he started listening to every album and bootleg he could get his hands on. His interpretation and delivery of the songs are right on the mark and he consistently wows audiences with his live performances.
In January of 2016, McGuinness joined bassist Stu Cook & drummer Doug “Cosmo” Clifford’s legendary touring group, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, on rhythm guitar and lead vocals. Cook & Clifford are the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section and co-founding members of Creedence Clearwater Revival. The band was on its “Final Revival” tour celebrating the legacy of Stu Cook & Doug “Cosmo” Clifford before the global crisis struck in early 2020. Creedence Clearwater Revisited celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2019.
Alongside guitarist Kurt Griffey, Dan launched Revisiting Creedence in 2021 to celebrate the legacy of one of America’s favorite catalogs.
From corporate conventions to colleges and clubs, The Dan McGuinness Band offers a variety of live/multimedia options to complement your event needs. We look forward to the opportunity of providing you with an unforgettable night of musical entertainment.
Once a show is booked, stage plots and technical riders will be advanced.
