"The whole package makes for an excellent alt.country album by a fine local talent, and a remarkably assured debut."
Born in country Queensland, Dan Lethbridge started playing music in Brisbane before moving to Melbourne in 2004. Perhaps the years spent in wide open places, both home and abroad, have left a stark feeling of space and longing to his music.
The last three years have been busy for Dan, seeing him perform throughout Australia and overseas. He has rapidly carved out a niche in the independent music scene, landing support and headlining slots at venues across the country. Dan now shares the stage with The Campaigners, his new five-piece line up of crack Melbourne musicians who bring his songs in to full colour.
'Dreamers Of The World Unite' is the name of Dan’s lush debut album. A labour of love, it features some of Melbourne’s finest musicians. Not content with an acoustic guitar and vocals, the album brings a full band sound to Dan’s songs for the first time. 'Dreamers Of The World Unite' is an album of timeless song writing and musicianship that is currently receiving warm praise from ABC Radio, 3RRR, 4ZZZ and PBSFM.
Having completed a number of East Coast tours, Dan recently returned from a successful trip to the United States, where he played shows in New York for the first time.
Dan is currently working on his second album to be released in late 2009.
'Dreamers of the World Unite' can be purchased on line now at www.bigozmusic.com.au.
