Dan Zanes in Revolutionary Road


Parents of toddlers might do a double take in one of the later scenes of Revolutionary Road. Yep, that's Dan Zanes playing guitar in the Steve Kovac band (really Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks). Zanes, for those of you not familiar with him, was a member of the 80's band, The Del Fuegos. After he and his wife had a baby, he started playing with other fathers he met at the playground and now does non-kid-like music for kids--often with cameos with people like Natalie Merchant, Sheryl Crow and Suzanne Vega--that's truly great. We just got one of his CDs for Henry for Christmas.

Zanes was very cool in this flick, doing the 50's jive stuff. One goof - he was playing a Guild Starfire IV guitar, which wasn't around in 1955.

nice catch, re: the guitar!
