Dan Bern at Bean Runner Cafe SOLD OUT!
Dan Bern
Sunday, April 19 - 8pm
$20 advance / $25 at the door
Seating begins at 7:15pm.
A remarkably prolific songsmith, Dan has released some two dozen studio albums, EPs, and live recordings since his first acclaimed Sony-distributed CD in 1997. Either fronting the prodigiously talented band Common Rotation or as a solo performer, he is comfortable and convincing, funny and topical, with an unassuming tip of the hat to the spirits Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash, the Beatles, and young Bob Dylanall while sounding thoroughly original and 21st-century.
Dan Bern recordings have featured a host of artists ranging from Ani DiFranco to Emmylou Harris. His singular songwriting has led to stints working on such projects as the Judd Apatow features Walk Hardthe Dewey Cox Story (starring John C. Reilly) and Get Him to the Greek (starring Russell Brand). His songs have appeared in numerous TV shows, and he recently penned the theme song for the Amazon cartoon The Stinky and Dirty Show.
Dan's new full-length studio album, Hoody, is due in early 2015. Featuring one of his most engaging and eclectic collections of songs, with support from Common Rotation, Hoody digs deeply into Dan's affinity for country, rock, and folk with a punch and poignancy rarely heard these days. And his voice has never sounded richer and more powerful. Hoody is filled with highlights and surprises, including "Lifeline," a stunning up-tempo country-rocker, featuring guest vocals by original Old Crow Medicine Show member Willie Watson. "Waffle House" is a hilarious live showstopper delineating one of the true dividing lines in modern-day America: "Red states got the Waffle House, blue states don't." Another gem on Hoody is the harder rocking "Welcome," a three-minute indictment of our modern-day information overload. On a lighter note, there's a charmingly spirited take on Johnny Cash's novel 1976 country chart-topper, "One Piece at a Time." The album closes with one of Dan's loveliest songs ever. "Sky" is a heartbreakingly beautiful love song, not just to a true love, but to life itself.
Dan is a songwriter's songwriter and a lyrical genius with a huge, optimistic heart, as anyone who's heard his songs can attest to.
