Episode 37: Declan Halloran - "The Blues Brothers" (1980)

Declan Halloran has been playing drums for 20 years.  The list of acts he’s played and toured with include Neveready, Pumphouse, Hand of Gavrilo, Hiroshima Mockingbirds, Daytrip, Dani Bell, El Vez, Crasher, Drug Hunt, Rey Wolf, Lady Dottie & The Diamonds.  His parents, Michael and Stephani, moved to San Diego in 1986, and since his debut in 1993, Declan has called San Diego his home. 

Having a father in the radio business paved the way for an eclectic musical taste, that draws from a wide range of genres, eras, and regions. When he’s not playing music, you can find Declan rigging concerts/events around town, surfing, skating, swimming, and attending shows all over San Diego.  A former lifeguard, he recently received his a master’s degree at San Diego State, and plans on bringing his experience to the new Surf/Skate Studies Program at SDSU, by implementing a class that does outreach to communities who have little to no access to swim lessons. Be on the lookout for that in the next few years.
