Daniel Seth Eason (aka "Dan Eason" and "CrashDan Eason") is a drummer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and founding member of the rock band Altared, based in New York State. Playing professionally since age 15, Dan started as a drummer / percussionist in Central New York State, and has toured and recorded with many regional and nationally acclaimed bands, including the rock band Altared, which is his current gig. Dan co-founded Altared with singer/songwriter Katrina Marie Eason in 2005. Dan has performed live concerts in the US, Canada and the Bahamas with Altared, who perform their original compositions as a full band and sometimes as an acoustic duo with Dan on guitar and/or piano supporting lead vocalist Katrina Eason. Altared also performs charitable work for the homeless and hungry as part of their Christian music ministry.
