  • Bio

    Daniel Lefkowitz wanders the ages, weaving between the worlds of old time songbirds, the mythic architects of blues, and rebel rousing ink slingers. Bestowing humble nods and thankful gestures, he arrives at the here and now with an intrinsically authentic and modern presence. Rooted in the American folk tradition, Lefkowitz brings to his songwriting a form stripped bare and beautiful. His melodies flood the musical body with bold blood, delivering potent words with the sound of an uncensored heart. His is a spirited offering that undulates with the intangible struggles of our current experience, as well as a subtle romanticism for tides and seasons bygone. Surrendering himself with a fierce abandon, at times with tenderness, at times with desperation, Daniel has a voice of gold and dust, like a good blade a bit rusted. With the sensibility of a poem or short story, Daniel's lyrical content is ripe with abstract sketches of the intrigues of death and dreams unborn, the confusion of identity and intent, and the overwhelming ebb and flow of love.

    Great to meet you at the Slaughtered Lamb - we really enjoyed that gig, what a great venue. Glad you've had such a good time in the UK and we'll catch you next time you're over, Julian

    hey dude, it was good running into you the other day, even if it was only for a little while I'm glad we had the chance to talk. I think about you now again, just wondering where you might be or how you're doing. I listened to the one song you have posted and it's good stuff, I hope to see more on here soon. and if those tour dates you have listed are for real, i'm insanely jealous.
