National Television Commercials/Jingles
I've been blessed to have been involved with several major television commercials, and I loved it!! Because I had such a diverse musical background, I became a first call session vocalist. One day I had to be Harry Connick Jr, and the next Paul McCartney, Paul Rogers. Robert Plant, or the Chi Lites. Some of the jingles I did were Transformers Gen 2, Aliens 3 the voice and Space Marines, BC Powder, Matchbox Lightning Key Cars, Bryans Hot Dogs, Vintage Gourmet Ice Cream, Bealls Dept Stores, Coors, New England Telephone, and many more. You can listen to my Jingle Vocal Sampler on my Music page

“57 year old Dan Shafer traveled across the country to Los Angeles to appear on The Voice. After years of singing jingles, Dan stepped out on the stage and blew me away with Trains “Marry Me” His cover gave me chills and he sounded better than some of the male Artists on top 40 radio”
“Over the last 10 seasons of “The Voice”, I’ve seen a lot of incredible, impressive and memorable Battle Performances - But None compare to the performance we just saw from Team Blake members Dan Shafer and Sundance Head. The two singers absolutely crushed it, leaving me, the audience, and the judges at a standing ovation”
