Hi. Of course I am here for 2025. 👋

I mostly write a combination of upbeat songs, ambient instrumentals and sad songs about heartbreak, regret and death. 😉🎶

Most of my lyrics are based in fiction, some overheard conversations and occasionally about me… but I’m not that all that exciting.

Once upon a time, I drove all around the US to perform my songs at all of the little coffeehouses, to eat at all of the local diners, to see all the things through the window of a car and to sleep on lots of floors and couches... but that was quite a long time ago.

I occasionally post song videos on IG: https://www.instagram.com/funktifiedfolk/

Catching up here on comments...thanks much for stopping by "Common" ! Thanks for so many kind words about the song! Since you mentioned the cello and flugelhorn I thought I'd throw it out there that we just put up another one last night that features both again. It's called "Everyone Has a First Heartbreak" if you'd like to listen :)

Thanks so much Dan for your comments and unique observations on "Return to You." I'm not familiar with Hello Saferide, gonna check em out!

@hamiltonpoolhall 1w

Thanks for the early visit to my page! I too have gotten off to a sloooow start, nice to know I'm not alone :-). Looking forward to hearing you again this year!

@markfulwider 2w

Hey there Dan! Thanks so much for your words of encouragement on @greengrassgirl and my tune
“Seventeen Again” Great to work with Patty and so glad you enjoyed the tune! Many Blessings!

@greengrassgirl 2w

Hi, Dan! So nice to see you here again! Thanks for stopping by my page and commenting on Seventeen Again, my collab with @markfulwider. It was the first time we've worked together and he made everything easy! Glad you enjoyed our song.

@jeff9 2w

Dan, I really appreciate you taking a listen to Come to California and your very kind words.

@newukenewyork 2w

Thanks so much for your comment on "I Don't Wanna Ride This Truck" -- I'm off to gargle salt water now, trying to get the voice back.

@frozenlonesome 2w

Dan, thanks for checking out Materials and Costs. I really enjoyed your kind comments and how you pay attention to the details.

@nadine 2w

Thank you, I will drop you a line when "Coming Home" happens. Right now, Ash is have issues with their interface. I hope they get it fixed, if not, I'm positive that we get it done after FAWM. I still don't have a guitarist or uke player. The chords are way beyond my abilities and I hate the software sound...
