You've seen Jeff Daniels in films like "Terms of Endearment," "Gettysburg," Dumb and Dumber," to name just a few. While there is no doubt Jeff Daniels is an accomplished and talented actor, once you've heard his music, you will be pleasantly enlightened to realize Mr. Daniels is just as accomplished and gifted as a musician.

With the follow-up album to “Grandfather’s Hat,” and “Live and Unplugged,”
Daniels has proven that he is not an actor who sings, but an accomplished
singer/songwriter whose musical talent does not require the support of his acting.
Although it took him some time to feel comfortable on stage behind his guitar,
Daniels’ confidence has matured with his songwriting, being invited onstage to
perform a few songs with legends Lyle Lovett, John Haitt, Joe Ely, and Guy Clark,
during their rare “Songwriters” tour. Having his pal Keb Mo’ join Jeff on stage
was equally rewarding (Jeff calls it a “free guitar lesson”). From time to time he’s
also been fortunate to expand his shows to sell out venues outside of Michigan.
A Michigan native, Daniels never forgets his roots. As Daniels’ states in his liner
notes, ”After ten years in New York, I moved back home to Michigan. When I told
Hogan I was leaving he said, “You never left.”
“Together Again” is a record of Daniels and Hogan’s time and memories of
being “starving New York actors”. What started out as a means of raising money
for the equity theatre he founded (The Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea,
Michigan) has become a back road journey that taps into the storyteller’s head.
But now it has a melody, as well as a story to tell.
"As starving New York actors, Hogan and I spent many inexpensive nights sitting in our apartments playing each other's songs. Over the past thirty years, whenever I'm in town, we always try to find time to get together and do what we've always done. In the spring of 2007, with my son Ben on the mixing board, we found the time to sit down in my New York City apartment. Just me and Hogan. Together again."
