Dan Bern is a wildly imaginative troubadour whose music has been described in the New York Times as "topical-political-poetical-sarcastic- punk-folk." His great free-form poetic lyrics and the power of his raging tenor generate laughter and controversy (often at the same time) as he veers from comedy to anger, conjecture to shaggy-dog stories, with side trips to theology, science fiction, consumer culture, love, art, and baseball.

The Iowa native has spent his adult years traveling the country, writing hundreds of songs, and performing them for an ever-expanding audience. He has released numerous albums, including many EPs of his rousing topical songs like last year's releases My Country II and Anthems, featuring audience favorites like "Ostrich Town" and "Take Back the New Millenium."
