   About David Brogan
Dave's debut solo album, Thunderbird Sun Transformation, is now available through CD Baby online music store!

Just go to http://cdbaby.com/cd/dbrogan


David Brogan specializes in variety, eclecticism and groove. The music he creates encompasses everything from poppy jam-rock, straight ahead funk to synth drone ensembles. Brogan started learning both piano and percussion at the age of seven. His piano studies took him in the direction of music theory, songwriting and composition, and drum studies at UCSB, where he hooked up with the west-coast jam outfit ALO- pulling triple duty as drummer, songwriter and occasional lead singer. He has recorded two albums with the band, Fly Between Falls, and Roses and Clover, both for Brushfire Records / Universal.

In January of 2008 Brogan headed into the studio to record material he'd been developing over the last few years. Tim Bluhm, lead singer and guitarist of California cult band The Mother Hips, produced and appeared on the record. Ranging from atmospheric acoustic folk to pseudo arena-rock anthems, the songs on the album reflect Brogan's continued dedication to the eclectic. He also plays most of the instruments on the album, which features guest artists Jackie Greene, Paul Hoaglin, Tim Young, bandmate Dan Lebowitz and others. The album, titled Thunderbird / Sun Transformation, is slated for release in mid-October of 2008. Hoaglin and Young will also join Brogan on live dates throughout the rest of the year

Hi! Got the CD last week, and having been playing it to death in the car. It is amazing and brilliant, I am so hooked. Easy is still my favorite. Broken Record, to me, takes me back to 1970s Spinners. Stony Fields, Pemberton Steps, and T. Mountain are all great, too.

So, yesterday, I gave my friend a copy for Christmas (I ordered 3, knowing it would be great) and played Easy for her in the car (I made her open it right away) and she had tears in her eyes and said she had just spent two hours talking with someone about how she needs to chill out and enjoy her life for what it is.

We both are amazed at you and Zach and Steve and Dan. How did you become so wise and insightful?

A big thank you for sharing the music with us.
What a great Christmas present!!
