Cosmic Folk with a Tribal Twist of Jazz
PRESS QUOTES :
“Dangers most important instrument is his voice: He scats and oomps and sings through clever compositions, sounding not unlike folks answer to Bobby McFerrin!” -THE ONION av club
“Danger is effective and environmentally aware electro-folk with an acoustic, almost spoken word vibe that reminds one of the late Frank Zappa’s monologue inflections.”– MAXIMUM INK
A little bit world/bushmen, a little bit small furry creatures grooving with a pick, a little bit twisted dairyland folk – CALIFORNIA RECORDING INSTITUTE
“Danger blends poetic whimsy with folk sensibility, suffusing the mix with rhythm-heavy melody, and an injection of jazz-style phrasing when you least expect it. Sounds bizarre doesn’t it? Well, it is. But it’s unique, and it works!” -LAKE SUPERIOR SOUNDER
“A hallmark of Dangers performances and his music in general, is his sharp wit. He’s extremely entertaining live, possessing a common-sense and ample humor which he weaves both into and between songs. The sheer variety of sounds is astounding & at times there are extended breaks that become hypnotic” -RICKS CAFE
Danger’s brilliant and worldly shows play more like an ensemble. He delights in finding snappy audio tricks and playing them on dozens of instruments, sometimes with an electronic aid- it’s funky, heady folk. -THE CITY PAGES
“I’ve found myself listening to a wonderful songwriter who is really making a name for himself in the Folk scene”. -Steph Elkins, SIMPLY FOLK Wisconsin Public Radio
“I want the world to see him. I want the world to hear him. I want the world to see his work in whatever capacity because I find him to be a brilliant songwriter and just a great human being. His creativity and nature are fun to be around… and enlightening. He is the type of guy who can change peoples lives” -TOM PEASE
