Celebrating 20+ years as a band is special.

Taking time to make music for the sake of the sound, the soul, and the groove is precious.

What Could Go Wrong? by Dan Nichols and Eighteen is a celebration of that creative spirit.

The goal?

Book a vibey Nashville studio and escape into a creative space with bandmates Mark Niemiec and Nathan Meckel for four days.

The result?

An album of striking depth and insight into Dan’s increasing awareness of a marriage in crisis. The sound heralds back to Dan’s roots as an indie-rock devotee. The songs are full of fun, irreverence, energy, honesty, lyrical fantasy, and playful hooks.

What Could Go Wrong? is an intentional departure from the 25 year Dan Nichols and Eighteen album catalog. At the same time these songs are a return to what Dan, Mark, and Nathan have always loved about being in a band together for over twenty years- playing hard, playing smart, and playing together.
