The Dameans were a group of Catholic musicians who rose to prominence in the folk music era of the 1970s.[1] They began as seminarians at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana; formed in 1968, the group comprised Darryl Ducote, Mike Balhoff, Dave Baker, Buddy Ceaser, and Gary Ault.[2] By the early 1980s, along with such groups as the St. Louis Jesuits, their music "dominate[d] the publications scene" in contemporary Catholic liturgical music.[3] As part of the "second phase" of post-Conciliar Catholic folk music, the Dameans' songs reflected attention to liturgical and Biblical texts, and several were represented in the original Glory and Praise hymnal of 1977.[4] Their most popular songs included Look Beyond[5] and All That We Have.
