Career
After graduating in 1997 Avidan pursued business at Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts. After a while of being in business he dropped out of the class stating it's not what he would've liked to do. In 2003 he took an exchange program opportunity to study flora in the French Alps. He later graduated from Boston University with a currently unknown degree.
Late in 2003 Avidan joined the band The Northern Hues. He provided lyrics to all the songs on the band's roster. They have 1 EP together and 1 live album recorded in early 2005 at The World Cafe, in New York. In mid-2005 the band split up for currently unknown reasons. The songs they created as a band are still available online, while most of the band's songs are currently unavailable to the public. Avidan has stated that he doesn't really enjoy the songs from that time, however, the band helped him become more aware of his talent and how to use it.
In the winter of 2006, Avidan teamed up with Peter Lennox to form a band named Skyhill. Dan provided lyrics for all the songs and together they created 1 full album in the spring of 2007. They toured for a while until they eventually broke up for idea differences.
Avidan joined the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York sometime after parting from Skyhill and there he met current band partner Brian Wecht.
