The Facts
Dan produced a ton of albums in 2007 - seven. His new album, "Come Home" is the first collection of Dan's jazz songs, all centered on the theme of people far away. Set in more restrained, classic jazz arrangements with a focus on the vocals, "Come Home" is a digital-only album available starting January 5, 2008 only at dancostellomusic.com
Stepping out of the cultural cross streets of Brooklyn, Dan Costello's sound breaks all the musical molds. Writing from the influence of Hip Hop, Folk, Rock, Jazz and Broadway, Dan's songs cannot be restricted to any particular genre, as he fashions new sounds out of his eclectic influences.
Dan is an independent musician, having quit his corporate music job in January 2006. He works as a sound engineer, a recording engineer, a piano player, an open-mic host, and occasionally as an album producer. Sometimes he staples and stuffs envelopes. He's a member of the Freelancers Union and various arts organizations. He has toured as a solo act, with Creaky Boards, and with fellow songwriter Brook Pridemore, playing shows all over the Northeast and the Midwest, and to the UK.
Dan recently moved into a live/work space called The Brooklyn Tea Party, where he and his housemates host local and touring acts at private parties. He's off on a 30-day train trip through the US and Canada.
Dan is in ten bands.

"This folk-rapper-poet is [in] magically in-your-face in a pleasant way (but not too pleasant). Humorous social criticisms percolate tastily throughout his songs, a refreshing blast of lyrics in a songwriter climate of confessionals and narcissisms."
