About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

Dan Webster makes music that sits effortlessly in folk, folk-rock and modern popular song all at once. This is demonstrated by the range of artists that Dan has supported including Glen Tilbrook, Chris T-T, Anna Ryder, Dean Friedman, Midge Ure, Hem, Martin Carthy, Robin Williamson , Hammell on Trial and David Mallet.Musically Dan sounds modern yet carrying forward the singer-songwriter / folk tradition seemingly with ease. This is music that could appeal to folkies but also to fans of acoustic pop like Badly Drawn Boy or modern indie folk like Adem or James Yorkston. He's clearly his own man, in thrall to nobody and writing songs that express some singular personal perspective. He's not about inspirations or reference, but instead is on the road, trying to capture those fleeting moments of magic in his song. Now it's your turn to discover the biggest little secret in modern folk. Woven Wheat WhispersThe full album is available for download from: www.wovenwheatwhispers.co.uk
