Dan Pastoor

Dan Pastoor can keep things low while people eat and talk, then lift the energy when it's time to dance. The Brisbane singer-songwriter shapes his song choices around whoever is in front of him, and he knows a huge number of songs. The Beatles and Elvis share a list with U2 and the Rolling Stones, then Britney Spears, Outkast and Robbie Williams, and newer names like Vance Joy, Luke Combs, George Ezra, Coldplay and Jack Johnson. That spread helps at a birthday or an engagement party with grandparents and grandkids in the same room.
