He has played with Watercress, solo and with Joy Zipper all across the globe supporting bands such as, Air, The Levellers, The Darkness, Duran Duran, Ian Dury and Turin Brakes to name but a few.
In 2000 Dan moved to New York and it was here he formed the New York based band Sonovagun who packed venues throughout the Tri State area consistently. He has gained considerable recognition as a solo singer and songwriter in recent years, both in Europe and America.

Dan is now celebrating the release of his latest LP, 'Country & Northern'. Toughened by life on the road Dan has gathered a wealth of experiences that have shaped his songwriting and honed his live performances considerably. The loves, losses, poverty, wealth, addictions, successes and failures are chronicled in his breath taking new work.
With a distinctive originality, the body of work weaves Country, Folk, Pop and Rock in a way that only an artist with Donnelly's maturity and experience can. Blending fiery fiddles and blistering banjos but maintaining a big pop sensibility, the album is quite simply unique.
It features guest appearances from friends all over the globe including Mark Chadwick (Levellers) and Mercury Music nominated producer Sean Lakeman (Seth Lakeman).
