---------------------------------------David Hakan is a native of Kansas City who has been performing his original music for many years. In 1992 he cofounded the Songwriters Circle of Kansas City with Dave Lizor. This nonprofit organization has a regular event each month to showcase area singer/songwriters.

David's first CD, In Midtown, is a collection of folk and folk/rock songs most requested by his audiences. The production is open and acoustic, with clear acoustic guitar, and some fiddle, accordion, or banjo thrown in for a light touch. His vocals remind some of John Denver. His great story songs remind some of John Prine or John Gorka. The title cut, In Midtown, is a humorous look at all of the "creative, unique, artistic and cantankerous" people who live in the Kansas City Midtown area.

Davids second CD, Dancing Now, is a live recording of 11 new offerings often requested by his audiences. This was recorded at the All Souls Coffeehouse on March 11, 2000 with wonderful vocal harmonies by Narissa Bond.

Davids third CD, Loose Upon The Street, takes you from the driving guitar riffs of The Getaway to the healing vibrations of Home Cooking. Fans love the politicl songs in this album.
------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
David's fourth CD, There's a Storm, is a mix of soothing songs of healing and high-energy political songs. Sometimes the winds of change blow hard on a C harp, wail at the corporate towers and shake the roots of rock 'n' roll.
