Dan Auerbach

Dan Auerbach talks to Matt Everitt about the key moments of his life and career.

Dan Auerbach shares his musical milestones with Matt Everitt in a programme first broadcast in 2017.

Dan is best known as half of the guitar-and-drum garage and blues band the Black Keys. As a producer and musician he's collaborated with the Pretenders, Dangermouse, Lana Del Rey, Ray LaMontagne, A$AP Rocky and Dr John.

He chats to Matt about his earliest musical influences growing up in Ohio, which were bluegrass and country, the impact of his father's staggering vinyl collection and his formative gigging experiences, which varied from the Grateful Dead to Whitney Houston. He also discusses the formation and huge success of the Black Keys, working with Danger Mouse and Dr John, and his passions for JJ Cale, T Rex, the Sonics and Link Wray.
