Musical career
editIn July 2009 the Martin Guitar Company issued, as part of their Custom Artist Series, a D28 Dreadnought acoustic guitar in recognition of Dan's life devoted to performing bluegrass and old-time music. The guitar, named Martin D-28 Dan Tyminski Custom Edition, was issued with its own distinctive details to appeal to flatpickers.[7]
At the Ultra Music Festival 2013, he premiered a new single, "Hey Brother", as part of a country-electronic collaboration with Swedish producer Avicii. The song was a Top 5 hit in more than 15 countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, Macedonia and the United Kingdom. In May 2024, "Hey Brother" surpassed one billion streams on the Spotify streaming platform. [8][9][10]
In 2017, Tyminski released a new solo album, Southern Gothic, through Mercury Records Nashville. The lead single was "Bloodline".[11] The bluegrass album, God Fearing Heathen, was released on 23 June 2023.[12][13]
Tyminski is an avid golfer, and was named to Golf Digest's "Top 100 Golfers in Music."[14] He regularly competes at celebrity golf tournaments, including the Monday After Masters tournament in Myrtle Beach, SC,[15][16] the Murray Bros. Caddyshack tournament in St. Augustine, FL,[17] and The Vinny golf tournament in Nashville, TN.[18][19]
