On April 3rd, 2009, Dan Cloutier and his Band recorded a brand new CD in front of a sold out audience at the Amazing Things Arts Center in Framingham MA. It was the best show Dan ever played, and the first time he ever sold out a room. The night was the culmination of a few incredible years in Dan's music. Since his last record, 2006's "Bottles and Seeds," Dan has been the opening act for such legends in the song-writing community as John Hiatt, Richie Haves, Ellis Paul, and John Gorka. He also played countless solo shows across all of New England at some of the regions most prestigious venues including Club Passim, Tupelo Music Hall, and the mentioned above Amazing Things Arts Center. The Noise magazine of Boston recently stated, "Cloutier proves his musical clout without flaunting it, leaving this audience in good spirits and satisfied." Insite Boston Magazine has also stated, "Cloutier puts his money where his mouth is. On and off stage one can be proud to be a fan of Dan." The new live CD should be completed in the summer of 2009. The good times will roll, and Dan will continue on his musical journey. I hope you can be part of it.

Hi Dan, I hope you are feeling better and don't pass out at the wedding today. It was so great to be back with the hooligans last night. Thanks for not forgetting me! See you soon. And hey, I didn't know you played hockey-- or that you had such a temper. You gotta work on that, man :)

Dan's the Man! What a great show last night at Amazing Things. Wonderfully moving songs, made so solid with the backing of Kim, Ricardo and Dennis. The costume changes and cowboy hat added that extra dimension. Good luck with getting this CD recording into production. -RE
Awesome, awesome show last night Dan! You and the band - Dennis, Kim, and Ricardo were tight as a drum, and your songs came shining through. Tres Manifique! I can't wait to get the CD, and am so happy to say I was there! Congratulations my friend! Joe
O Hooligan Leader, the Big Show was tremendous in every aspect of what a concert should be: GREAT and catchy songs, airtight performances, happy chemistry, and just plain fun. Every musician made every note soar. We are all so proud of you and the band. xox Ruthann
