Sometimes Blind currently consists of singer-songwriter, Dan Van Ordstrand, who has created music in several bands over the past two decades and released 3 full length albums and 2 EPs during that time. What began as a 6 piece indie rock band in 2017 with Dan serving as the primary songwriter and rhythm guitarist, the band has morphed over the years into its current form today due to other members joining or leaving the project. Today, Dan works in the studio or performs live with various other musicians. Based in Springfield, Oregon, the band regularly performs at wineries, breweries, music venues and community events throughout Springfield and Eugene, Oregon and the outlying area.

Dan's interest in rock music began in his early teen years while taking in all the great alternative rock acts of the 1990s, such as Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, The Foo Fighters and Sublime. But a major turning point occurred during his high school years, which turned his interest in rock music into a driving force in his life. Dan and a few of his close friends narrowly survived a public mass shooting at his school when he was a sophomore. It was in the months that followed the shooting that Dan found a galvanized desire to begin writing his own music as a means to communicate with the world around him. Dan's main message to his audience is that we can never take life or relationships for granted because we don't know how much time we have on this Earth. So take chances, say yes to more things, know what's in your soul that makes you fulfilled, don't burn bridges with friends or family as far as you can help it, explore, get outdoors and do cool stuff.
