Opening for Eden Brent

Featuring
Dani Lightner and Josh Rowand

NEW RELEASE COMING SOON !

Dani Lightner’s musical journey began as a toddler when she couldn’t resist belting out tunes.  At the tender age of twelve (12) she graced the stage with her voice. By sixteen (16) she had already performed at Nashville’s renowned Bluebird Cafe and Tootsies, captivating
audiences.

From 1996 to1998 Dani shared the stage with country music legends John Anderson, Johnny Paycheck, and Ty Herndon as an opening act.  After a hiatus of nearly two decades to raise her children, Dani’s passion for music was reignited when meeting fiancée Josh Rowand.  With Josh’s encouragement Dani triumphantly returned to the stage, showcasing herraw talent and captivating presence once more.

Josh Rowand “The Pitbull of Blues Band” is more than just a generic blues band. As a Florida based band, “The Pitbull of Blues Band” enjoys sharing their own breed of blues with others. Putting the bite in blues, this band delivers a show that reminds you why you fell in love blues.  ~ Happenings Magazine

Josh “The Pitbull of Blues” Rowand, is widely known as the front man for the high energy Florida based Pitbull of Blues Band. After a 3rd. place finish at the 2020 Memphis IBC Finals, the Pitbull of Blues Band has been a regular on the festival circuit throughout Florida.  Josh is proud to be the only US endorsed artist with Ali Kat Guitars, with his stunning guitar work he leads the crowds through a repertoire of all that is Country, Blues, Rockabilly and more.

In August of 2021, Josh and Dani found each other and while love and also musical sparks began to fly, they noticed similarities in their musical tastes and also musical inspirations and they started sharing the stage together more and more playing everything from Country and Americana Classics like “Walking After Midnight” and “Angel From Montgomery” to new blues infused songs like Ashley McBride’s “Rattlesnake Preacher” and Jelly Roll’s “Save Me” and even Rocking Country tunes like Laney Wilson’s “Hang Tight Honey”.

On the afternoon of July 2nd., what could have been a tragic event became the story of legends as their beloved dog Ava got out and went for a 3.5hr swim and romp thru the backwoods and swamp water lakes of the housing community where they live and the phrase Chasing Ava was mentioned and the band name created.

The full band also includes Deny “Pop’s” Rowand on Bass and Vocal’s and Richie Corricelli on Drum’s and vocal’s, have formed the core of The Pitbull of Blues Band, who along with Josh has been sharing the stage together for over 27 years.
