Dana Cooper

Out of the heartland of America, stomping grounds of Truman and Twain, “powerhouse” troubadour Dana Cooper dedicated himself to a life of music over 40 years ago.
This song poet engages and inspires audiences around the world with his quick wit, insightful stories and commanding presence. He has performed on Austin City Limits,
Mountain Stage and the Kerrville Music Festival where he was nominated for their Hall of Fame. Cooper's songs have been recorded by top-notch artists such as bluegrass
star Claire Lynch; Irish vocalist Maura O'Connell; and luminary songwriters Pierce Pettis and Susan Werner. Cooper's mixture of flat-picking, finger-picking and percussive
strumming style is legend among other guitarists. An expressive singer his voice is ageless evoking a rich lifetime of experience.  

At 12 he sang, played drums, guitar and harmonica in local bands. By 13 he began writing his own songs and at 16 he performed regularly at the prestigious
Vanguard Coffeehouse in Kansas City. His deep love and commitment to a life of music drew Cooper away from an art scholarship at Avila College. Cooper
took to the road touring midwest college coffeehouses for one year then sold an electric guitar and his entire record collection to buy a one-way ticket to Los Angeles.
Four months later he was signed to Elektra Records. His eponymous first album was released on Elektra in 1973. The record features such acclaimed players as
Lealand Sklar, Russ Kunkel and Jim Horn. Years later he returned to San Francisco City College to study another great love, horticulture. Still he played whenever
possible in clubs all over the Bay Area. Coopers diverse experiences as a taxi driver, warehouseman, nurse’s aid, gardener, waiter and touring musician continued to
bring maturity and depth to his songwriting.  

Cooper eventually moved to Texas writing, performing and recording with Shake Russell in the late 70s and with his own power trio,
DC3 during the early 80s. Returning to his roots as a solo performer Cooper relocated to Nashville in 1988. He has become an integral
figure in the Music City songwriting community collaborating with renowned writers such as Tom Kimmel, Sally Barris, Kim Carnes and
Don Henry. Cooper has been invited to participate in songwriting workshops from Belfast to Copenhagen to Austin. 

His prolific endeavors have resulted in 20 albums. The critically acclaimed Miracle Mile on Compass Records was nominated for a
Nashville Music Award as "Best Pop Album" and was chosen by Performing Songwriter Magazine as one of the top DIY recordings for the year.
Harry Truman Built a Road was named one of the best records of 2002 by The Tennessean and was also chosen as one of the top twelve DIY recordings
for that year. Made of Mud released on King Easy Records in 2005 won Cooper the "Best Male Songwriter Award" by Indie Acoustic Project.
Working with co-producer/guitarist  Thomm Jutz Cooper recently released The Conjurer which features some of the bluest, rawest music of his career.
Grammy award winning singer/songwriter Kim Carnes, who also co-wrote the opening song, "Enough", joins Cooper on vocals. Dana Cooper
continues to tour the United States and Europe gaining new fans wherever he goes.
