Who is Dan Roberts?

Dan Roberts is a solo artist and songwriter. He has penned numerous Billboard chart songs including several for Garth Brooks.

Prior to moving to Nashville, Tennessee, Roberts spent time briefly as an amateur bronco rider. In Nashville, Roberts teamed up with Brooks and Bryan Kennedy to write the number one hit "The Beaches of Cheyenne". Brooks signed Roberts and Kennedy to a two-year deal to open his world tour in 1996-97. The duo opened more Garth Brooks shows than any other opening act in Brooks' career. Following the tour, Roberts wrote an album for himself titled There's a Little Cowboy in All of Us. He followed this up with a second CD Cowhand.com, which charted on both Gavin and Billboard.

His third CD, Viva La Cowboy was in contention for three Grammy nominations in 2004 and featured two chart singles on the Texas Music Chart, "I'm the One to Call" and "Swingin' Till We Can't See Strait".

His music career and life took on new meaning after his daughter, Austin, fought and won a two-year battle with brain cancer.
