Dan Strauss is a singer-songwriter who dips his feet into a variety of musical waters to create songs that could be described as indie-folk, country, pop and rock. But mostly the songs combine all of those styles as Dan's love of music crosses into many genres. Rich in the influential writing of artists like Elvis Costello, Nick Drake, The Band, Wilco, Hank Williams, and The Beatles. Dan writes openly and expressively, as if he is sitting in a room with you. His warm, honest vocals and sweeping melodies invite you along for the ride. Dan has become a favorite in his native Brooklyn and the Hudson Valley. He performs regularly in New York City and the Northeast, sometimes performing solo and sometimes with his band. He has independently released three CD's, "Renting Happiness", "Rocking Chair" and "Circles"
