The Lt. Dan Band is a cover band founded by Kimo Williams and Gary Sinise. The band is named after the character Lieutenant Dan Taylor, whom Sinise portrayed in the film Forrest Gump. Sinise has said in interviews that many people know him by sight as "Lieutenant Dan" rather than by his real name.[1]
Since 2003 the band has been performing for charities and non-profit organizations including the USO and Operation Iraqi Children. They frequently visit military bases in the United States and abroad.
