Dan Israel and the Cultivators began in the fall of 1995 when Dan Israel moved back to his hometown of Minneapolis after several-year stints in Chicago and Austin, TX, respectively. He first gigged out solo, then hooked up with high school chum Adam Kapel for some "guitar-bass duo" shows around the Twin Cities. It turned out Dan had actually met Tom years before when Tom was Big Walter Smith's guitar player, as Big Walter was the house band at Dan's uncle's wedding and Tom had been the guy nice enough to let Dan sit in with the band (and play his guitar) at the wedding gig. Small world indeed.
