Biography

Adair auditioned for guitarist David Martone, a Berklee College of Music graduate, who was starting an instrumental fusion band. This band, named Martone, recorded its first album in 1999.

Adair at some point was also the drummer of a band called "The New Big Shoes", a small band, with one hit song, 'Smiling all the way', that has now faded out, with the lead singer being Shawn Wiese.Though "The New Big Shoes" have long since broken up, To this day Adair and Wiese are still in contact, even as Daniel Adair travels with Nickelback.

In 2002, Adair joined the multi-platinum, Mississippi based band 3 Doors Down, as the touring and studio drummer. During his time with the band they recorded the studio album Seventeen Days and live album Another 700 Miles, toured 14 countries and had multiple TV appearances.

Adair left 3 Doors Down to join the Canadian band Nickelback. In 2005, they released the album All the Right Reasons which debuted at #1 on Billboard and went multi-platinum. The follow-up album was Dark Horse; the first single on that album, "Gotta Be Somebody", was released on September 29 in North America. The album was produced by Mutt Lange.

On October 21, 2007, James Stephen Hart (former frontman of Eighteen Visions) announced that Adair was recording drum tracks for his new band, Burn Halo.[3]
