About Me

Howdy... Any day (week, or month) now, I'll be releasing my first studio album "Everybody's Coming To Town." It's 12 full, real, original songs. Some earlier mixes are posted on this page for your crunchy, compressed listening pleasure. Please do check the schedule for upcoming shows! I'll be playing with my wonderful band in the NYC area. Also, please view the dates for Dan Zanes and Friends! If we are coming to a theater near you, come on by and don't forget to say hello after the show! Woohooo! Feel free to check out the videos below! And pardon Matt Kloss' cursing - he means well. Sometimes.

After a healthy run of 4,693 plays on Myspace, "This House Was Built" was retired from my playlist. At that point, a song tends to just break down, much like a catcher at the age of 35. That, and it j...

SONG DELETED, TWO ADDED

So I deleted one of my favorite songs, "Wheat Day." I have come to realize that as a song gets more and more plays, it's tough to just go ahead and delete it - cause then if you want to repost it, it ...
