Dan Bern
The biggest comparisons I can make to Dan Bern's work are Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. It's not just because he wrote a song about all those guys ("Talkin Woody, Bob, Bruce, Dan Blues" from Smartie Mine, 1998) ... it's just because that's the way it is. If you dig any of those guys, you'll love Dan.
Trivia Fact :
Dan Bern grew up in Iowa, and his first instrument was the cello.
Dan Bern's Early Years:
Both of Dan Bern's parents were artists - his father was a concert pianist, and his mother a singer and poet. They settled in Mount Vernon, IA, in the 1950s after emigrating from Eastern Europe. Dan grew up playing cello and loving baseball. Later, after picking up guitar, he moved to L.A. and began his career there.
Dan Bern's CD Releases:
After several years in the Los Angeles Folk-Rock scene, Dan finally released his first self-titled CD in 1997. Since then, he's toured tirelessly around the States and released 10 CDs. The latest, 2004's Anthems is available only at his shows and directly from his record company.
Influences:
According to his bio, Dan Bern counts among his influences James Thurber, Charles Bukowski, John Fante and Ernest Hemingway.

The best way to learn more about any Folk artist is to check them out live. For the most up-to-date information, keep an eye on Dan's tour schedule!

Quote from Dan Bern:
"I'm not so concerned with changing anyone's mind. Just making sure all the like-minded people go and vote. Sometimes the choir needs a little preaching."

Brett Newski (of The Nod)

Hello. Thanks for coming.

You are hearing a collection of stories. True stories of glory, shame, submission, subtraction, and addition.

They were written in planes, trains, city buses and hand-me-down vans. Some were written on good days, others on not so good very bad days. Some were written in one sitting, or in one-hundredon caffeine or on no sleep, or on adrenaline, or on a whim.

This is 3 years of work recorded in 30 days, under a late-night liquor store, in a basement late-at-night.

We really hope you like them, but if you don't, that's ok too. Thanks. Bye.



THE NOD HAS PLAYED ALONGSIDE THE FOLLOWING BANDS: Third Eye Blind, OK GO, Cage the Elephant, Locksley, Bowling for Soup, Fever Marlene, RJD2, Maritime, We the Living, and an assortment of other good people.
