Dan Van Vechten music

new song! 

Check out one of my latest songs.  "Oskaloosa" is about a little town in central Iowa, and maybe a few other things.

Get Right CD release is almost here! 

Ready for some fun?  Friday night is going to be some bluesy, grassy, swamp-stompin' music in the Revival Room at the Southgate House Revival.  The celebration is for the release of my second LP, titled "Get Right".  Will and Johnny will be joining me, along with Heather Buckley Pauley on vocals, Suzanna Barnes on fiddle, Aaron Hedrick on harmonica, and Hank Becker on banjo.  River City Roustabout will open things up, and Hu Town Holler will be standing by to finish things off when we are done.  CD is included in the ticket price for the event:

Check out our entry for NPR's Tiny Desk contest! 

I got together over the weekend with Will and Johnny to make a video of "The Irish Goodbye" and some others.  This is the version I sent in to NPR today, so let's hope it gets us some attention!

The Simply Dan String Band joins Jerry Springer at the Folk School Coffee Parlor 

Now this was a one-in-a-lifetime experience.  A few months ago we were contacted by the Folk School Coffee Parlor, where I often attend songwriting workshops and artist performances.  We were offered a spot on Jerry Springer's podcast:  "Tales, Tunes, and Tomfoolery", where he and cohosts Jene Galvin and Megan Hils discuss current events while featuring local folk music acts.  We practiced up a tune and joined them for an episode.  Check it out!  http://www.jerryspringer.com/
