Who we are:

Jasper Dan hit the South African music scene like a freight train in 2015… coming off a few years of finding their feet as a rock cover band, the boys took a decision to try out their repertoire of a few originals and a bunch of tributes in the scene. The response was overwhelming as the band quickly developed a loyal following who seemed addicted to Jasper Dan’s honest brand of Southern Rock ‘n Roll… Jasper Dan events soon became renowned for being wild nights laced with Jack Daniel’s that no one dared to miss.

With the pride the band takes in every gig they play, they grew quickly, regularly snapping up opening slots for many of South Africa’s bigger acts in a very short space of time, this culminating in the band being selected to open for Iron Maiden on their Book of Souls Tour in 2016.

The day following the Iron Maiden event at Carnival City, the band committed to releasing their debut album before seeing the year out. In the November of 2016, Jasper Dan proudly released A Southern Fling at Rumours Lounge, it was a night that will be remembered for all in attendance for years to come. On that night, sponsored by Jack Daniel’s and with a huge crowd in attendance, Jasper Dan laid down their commitment to the South African music scene and their plan for every gig to follow…

What we are:

Jasper Dan is a band of everyday guys playing our own brand of honest music. We adopt a mature attitude towards the writing and delivery of our own songs. Jasper Dan is characterised by a solid rhythm section that supports enticing guitar hooks and unusually dirty but coherent vocals. While drawing much influence from southern rock we believe we provide something different to the South African music scene. We’re not a southern band, we are a “Southern African band.”

Why we do it:

We do it because we love it. It is just that simple. We have become a closely knit group of friends who love playing our own music together. Jasper Dan songs are thought out, every sound being there for a reason with a message or story played out in crafted lyrical content. As Jasper Dan, we take a lot of pride in being a “band” of the most authentic meaning of the word. We bring back the undressed emotion of true rock & roll with no engineered trimmings or digital reinforcing!

Why Jasper Dan?

Because Jasper Dan believes in every note we play and every word we sing.

It’s because of this that Jasper Dan shows are driven by a passionate energy from deep inside. When we are onstage we’re having the time of our lives which translates to the creation of an addictive energy for all those around. Jasper Dan are foot-stomping and an easy contrast that have already held our own with South Africa’s big hitters.

Simply we are just 100% everyday, authentic Jasper Dan. And that’s all we are. But it’s something we are proud to be!!
