Dan and the Donuts are Charleston’s premier 50s rock ’n’ roll party band, dedicated to keeping the golden era of dancehall music alive and thriving. Inspired by the energy of early rock ’n’ roll, doo-wop, and rockabilly, the band delivers a sound that instantly transports audiences back to jukeboxes, soda shops, and packed wooden dance floors. Their shows are full of high-energy rhythms, twangy guitar riffs, and harmonies that get guests twisting, jiving, and singing along from the very first song.

Fronted by singer and guitarist Daniel Doughtery and backed by a tight rhythm section, the band plays rock ‘n’ roll classics that capture the spirit of the era. Every performance is interactive and engaging, giving audiences a full retro experience while keeping the dance floor packed.
