“Lt. Dan” & his band visit Bubba Gump’s
According to Bill Zweker’s column in the Sun Times, Gary and the Lt. Dan Band grabbed dinner and a few wardrobe accessories at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. at the Navy Pier Saturday, October 14th before their concert later that evening at the USO gala. (If anyone was fortunate enough to attend the gala, we would love to hear about it.)
If you haven’t been to a concert yet or you just gotta have more, the band starts November with two shows in California and another in Missouri. On Saturday, November 4th, they perform at the Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, and the following night, November 5th, they play the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano.
Later that week, the band travels to Kansas City, Missouri for a Friday night show at the Uptown Theatre to raise funds for Operation Iraqi Children. For more information see Benefit Concert

I am from Peoria and I attended the USO Gala at Navy Pier on Oct 14th. Lt Dan Band was AWESOME! So much talent on one stage and I loved the way the band got the audience involved. It was so much fun dancing on stage with Gary and the band. It was an incredible experience and being a military wife, I appreciate all that Gary does for the troops. Keep up the good work!

Also attended the Gala with the wounded soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan who were celebrated that night. Gary is an absolute doll and actually came down to their table to meet with those who couldn’t get up on stage to see him. He truly touched our hearts treating our husband’s with such respect! We will never forget the night, the band, or Gary!!!!
