ASHEVILLE— Diana Wortham Theatre will host Emmy Award-winning actor and singer-songwriter Jeff Daniels as he performs with his son’s band, the Ben Daniels Band, on Monday, May 18, 2015 at 8 p.m.
Jeff Daniels brought down the house when he last appeared at DWT in 2010, and now returns to Asheville after completing the third and final season of HBO’s “The Newsroom,” for which he received the Outstanding Lead Actor Emmy Award in 2013. Daniels also starred in the highly anticipated release of the buddy comedy film sequel, “Dumb and Dumber To,” last November.
“Many film actors have worked in TV, and many dabble in the theater,” mused The Detroit News in a review. “But Jeff Daniels is one of only a handful who can count a respectable musical career alongside acclaimed work on film, TV and stage.”
A talented musician and vocalist, Daniels has been writing songs for more than 30 years, having performed with the likes of Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Guy Clark, and Keb’ Mo’. For his next tour, Daniels is joined by his son Ben’s accomplished band, known for its originality, musicianship and a sound that spans Americana, Blues, Jazz and Rock.
