Eggshell

Eggshell's Daniel Holter and Mike Standal share a passion for melody and lyric that has transformed them from a successful commercial production team into a prolific songwriting duo.

As part of The Burst Collective, Holter and Standal have their music heard in advertising (GM, Microsoft, BMW, Gatorade, Renault Italy), award winning television programs (O.C., CSI, Friends, Will & Grace, Monday Night Football, NBA Finals, Alias, Law & Order, Dateline, America's Most Wanted, West Wing), and on networks worldwide (HBO, NBC, ABC, CBS, NFL Films, BBC, SAT1).

Now, performing as Eggshell, they bare their hearts in modern pop arrangements touching on love, heartbreak and matters of the soul.

Their debut CD, Life Is What You Take It, features many friends...

  • Phil Madeira (Garth Brooks, Amy Grant, Kenny Loggins, Bob Carlisle, Sixpence None The Richer, Michael W. Smith, Deana Carter, Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael Bolton, Owsley, Vanessa Williams, Travis Tritt, Luther Vandross, and on and on...)

Pristine pop/rock with elegance and wit ... well-crafted, highly emotional pop/rock songs of a variety that few are able to deliver these days. - D. Forest, godsofmusic.com

In a perfect world this project should be picked up by a major... it's going in my 'Hot Rotation' in the car. Jim Long, President - OneMusic

In addition to performing, recording and licensing their Eggshell catalog, Holter and Standal continue to write and produce for other artists, as well.
