5434 Osgood AveAfton MN, 55001Phone: 612-750-1767 • Fax: 612-720-4830Cousinbillycousindan.comArtist StatementAlthough the adventure of Cousin Billy & Cousin Dan began only recently, it has been a long time in the making. Billy Stucke and Dan Ehrman, first cousins by birth, have long had an interest in music and writing. Both successful business men in their own right, the decision to pursue a dream came as almost an afterthought. But once the path had been decided upon and pen was put to paper, the music flowed. Both, being fathers and veterans gave them a distinct perspective on everyday life. Patriotism and family values strung with soft and sometimes driving melodies gave a unique sound to the music. Influences of country and rock & roll can be heard throughout the album. Strong lead guitar and searing lyrics make for a wild ride with a purpose. We write and record a wide range of material touching on different sounds and stories. It is our intent to bring our message of hope to America. We raise money for many different causes. Wounded Veterans, Yellow Ribbon etc.. And want to give back to our communities.
