Dan Hartland’s brand of singer-songwriter rootsiness reinvigorates the lonesome troubadour shtick with a wry pop sensibility. From gentle acoustic picking to the robust influences of early rock ‘n’ roll, Dan’s observational, confessional style offers a potent mix of intelligence and soul.
Having supported the likes of Mark Olson, Kim Richey, and Lisbee Stainton – as well as Joan as Policewoman, Clem Snide, Foy Vance, Mark Morris and Polly Paulusma amongst others – Dan is a dynamic and engaging stage presence. His new album, Young Man’s Game, features eleven literate slices of rootsy, country-flecked folk. He also has to his name two further EPs of songs equal parts hushed and impassioned.
“Gets right underneath the topic he’s writing about. Absolutely gorgeous – what an incredible voice.” BBC Introducing in the West
“His well crafted songs offer a fine balance between heartache and joy.” Americana UK
“Cuts right through to the listener’s innermost soul.” Maverick Magazine
