Folk-pop ramblings, double-meanings and melodic dealings are the work of Major Chord.
Major Chord expose the world to the sound of violins played down the hall, vocals recorded at 4am, percussion from all corners of the world and an old 70’s keyboard that cushions the fall... Glockenspiels and shakers, the work of music makers, piano accordion and guitars played between passing cars...
Major Chord offers a place in which to wander or hide; each song with a story folded neatly inside.

Dan writes the songs, then records & mixes the tracks in his studio Out the Back. He performs vocals, guitar, glockenspiel, Farfisa, Casio, piano-accordian and a hodge-podge of percussion, Kate adorns the tunes with her lush violin and harmonies and other accomplished locals add tasty morsels of keys, percussion, bass and choral merriment, at times making their lush, intimate sound slightly more boisterous.
The marrow of Major Chord lies in the rawness and honesty of folk traditions mixed up with the accessibility of pop culture, as Dan draws on his daily life pursuits as substance for his art.
