Dan and the Donuts – Charleston’s Rock ’n’ Roll Revival

Dan and the Donuts are one of Charleston’s freshest and most talked-about bands, recently voted Best New Band of the Year by Rockpile. Known for their high-energy shows and feel-good spirit, the band brings a unique spin to the classics—mixing blues, early rock ’n’ roll, and rockabilly into a sound that feels both nostalgic and brand new.

Fronted by Dan and powered by a tight lineup of talented musicians (including saxophonist Sam Hickman), the Donuts know how to keep a crowd moving—whether it’s at a packed pub, a skatepark show, or one of Charleston’s iconic music venues. Their performances are as much about connection as they are about music, blending sharp musicianship with playful stage presence and a dash of retro flair.

More than just a band, Dan and the Donuts are a reminder of why live music matters: the joy of shared rhythm, the thrill of a great groove, and the simple fun of a night out with friends. With momentum building and shows stacking up, this is one Charleston act you don’t want to miss.
