Dan Roberts is an American solo artist and songwriter known for his contributions to country music, particularly his collaborations with Garth Brooks. Before embarking on his music career, Roberts briefly worked as an amateur bronco rider. He moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he co-wrote the number one hit "The Beaches of Cheyenne" with Garth Brooks and Bryan Kennedy. This success led to Roberts and Kennedy opening for Brooks on his 1996-97 world tour, performing at more shows than any other opening act in Brooks' career.

Roberts released several albums, including "There's a Little Cowboy in All of Us," "Cowhand.com," and "Viva La Cowboy," the latter of which was in contention for three Grammy nominations in 2004. His music features charting singles such as "I'm the One to Call" and "Swingin' Till We Can't See Strait" on the Texas Music Chart.

Roberts' life and career took a personal turn when his daughter, Austin, battled and overcame brain cancer. This inspired him and his wife, Carol, to establish the Refuse To Lose Fund, raising $4.5 million to bring life-saving medical technology to Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas.

In addition to his music career, Roberts has been recognized by the Academy of Western Artists, winning the "Western Music (Male)" award in 2000 and "Entertainer of the Year" in 2001. He also received two Western Heritage Awards from the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.

Despite stepping back from full-time music after his daughter's illness, Roberts continues to perform at corporate events and manages ranches while living with his family in Aledo, Texas.
