notes
"I get to tour in Europe and I can't get sued for malpractice" are the reasons former psychologist Dan Hart gives for abandoning the 50-minute hour for the life of a singer/songwriter. Now based in the Boston area, Dan has been performing his unique mix of folk, rock and comedy at clubs across the U.S. and Europe for 20 years. Dan's tours have taken him to 27 states and 8 European countries.
Hart's lyrics give a cynical and humorous twist to topics such as the environment, mass media, psychotherapy, and problems of everyday living in a confusing technological world. The songs on Hart's second CD Apocalypse Now and Then have received airplay on radio stations across the U.S., and two songs have been featured on National Public Radio's Car Talk program. The Worcester (MA) Phoenix nominated it for Best CD and Hart for Best Solo Artist and Best Folk Artist, calling the CD "a crisp balance of well-thought truths and absolute absurdities." A third CD The Life of Dan has just been released; one of the songs has already made the top five on the nationally-syndicated Doctor Demento radio program.
Peter Berryman (of the comic duo Lou & Peter Berryman) said of Dan's humorous material: "I love it! Puts me in mind of such folks as Christine Lavin and the Camille West." Doctor Demento called his songs "very timely...quite amusing."
His songs have received recognition in national songwriting competitions, including the Kerrville Festival's New Folk series. His comedy songs, including "Five Senses" which appears on his first CD To A Silent Drum and on "Oasis Acoustic vol. 3", have appeared regularly on the Doctor Demento radio program for almost two decades. He has also been featured on New York's Fast Folk musical magazine.
Hart's CDs are available for purchase at Dan's performances, by mail order, on the web at cdbaby.com, amazon.com, and at selected stores. For further information about Dan Hart's performances and recordings, call Stone Boat Music at (800) 759-7664 or visit him on the web at www.danhart.net.
