About Me

Always writing poetry from a young age, it was not until Dan heard Bob Dylan for the first time that he realised that the acoustic guitar and his poetry needed to join forces.Using an open hearted aproach to song writing, Dan takes the listener on a sometimes heart wrenching journey into his own private world of the highs and lows of love and loss. His music shows you a man who is willing to wear his heart on his sleave for the good of music."I think I'm just a hopeless romantic at heart, but it's the loss of love that sticks with you the longest.""Thats why it's easier to write about sad, painful experiences, you can always tap into that place where you hide those feelings away.""If I can write a song using my emotion of an experience, and someone connects with that song and can get their own emotional connection to that song, well thats when you know your on the right track."Dan has completed his debut Album,"MY NEW DAY" which con be purchased on line through CDBABY, iTunes or in selected stores.He has just completed a two month tour in April and May 2007, starting in Paris, playing shows through out France, Prague and England.He is then planning an east coast tour in early 2008 to support his Album release, starting in Melbourne working up the east coast till he reaches Queensland.Dan plays shows in and around Sydney with "ACOUSTIC CARAVAN", and is still a regular around Sydneys Open Mic and Songwriter nights.DONT FORGET TO VOTE FOR ME
