With his considerable technical prowess he fuses tremendous pop sensibility into his playing, has a keen ear for melody and can spend hours enthusing about artists normally considered poles apart from Prog Rock, like Earth Wind &amp; Fire or early Michael Jackson. The funky edge he brought to The Tangent is his hallmark, and the older guys around The Tangent were quick to realise that this style is actually a very suitable way in which to approach Progressive Rock. Dan was featured on the album and toured Europe with UPF for their debut album \u2018Fall In Love With The World\u2019 in 2014. More recenlty, he is the \u2018DA\u2019 in Damanek along with Guy Manning, and Marek Arnold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unitedprogressivefraternity.com\/site\/dan-mash\/\"><span style=\"color: #dcdcdc;\">Read more\/ Full bio<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAN MASH (Bass) &#8220;It has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of such a diverse project that bridges and enables the collaboration of so many talented musicians.
