He is remarkable.” Hayes Carll \n“The album (The Ghost of Tucumcari) is 5 star Grammy material.” Shake Russell \n“He leaves us thinking\, as only the best songwriters do.” Jim Hynes – Glide Magazine  \n“Blown Away. The Title Cut! What can I say but “Meow.”  Marilyn Rea Beyer  WFMT \n“Genius” Tom Tranchilla KPFT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDana Cooper’s musical journey began at the young age of 2 when his father would prop him on the bar to sing along with the jukebox. Coming from Missouri\, Cooper was surrounded by the sounds of classic country and folk music from an early age. He quickly became enamored with the guitar and taught himself to play and to harmonize vocally by listening to records. By his teenage years\, Cooper was performing in coffee houses and clubs around Kansas City\, honing his skills as a singer\, songwriter and guitarist. \n\nIn the 1970s\, Cooper landed a record deal with Elektra Records and released his acclaimed self-titled debut album in 1972. Backed by renowned LA studio musicians “The Section\,” including Leeland Sklar and Russ Kunkel\, the album showcased Cooper’s lyrical depth and virtuoso guitar playing. \n\nFor over a decade\, he was half of the highly acclaimed duo – The Shake Russell/Dana Cooper band\, who garnered a large following in Texas as well as appearing on Austin City Limits. Through the 70s and 80s\, he built his reputation on the club circuit while also collaborating with artists like Lyle Lovett\, Kim Carnes\, Susan Werner\, Kim Richey\, Hal Ketchum & more. \n\nOver his 50+ year career\, Cooper has amassed a catalog of 30+ albums and continues to tour actively. He is set to release his highly anticipated 32nd studio album\, “The Ghost of Tucumcari”\, on May 17\, 2024. Featuring an All-Star lineup of guest artists\, the album marks a major achievement for the veteran musician. Artists lending their voices to this project are Lyle Lovett\, Hayes Carll\, Susan Gibson\, Mando Saenz\, Darden Smith\, Shake Russell\, Libby Koch and more. \n\n“The Ghost of Tucumcari” takes listeners on a stirring musical journey across genres from Folk and Rock to Country and Americana. His critically acclaimed 2022 release\, “I Can Face the Truth\,” encapsulates his evolution as a consummate storyteller. The album mixes his signature fingerpicking guitar and harmonica with poignant lyrics on love\, loss and the current state of the world. \n\nCentral to Cooper’s unique artistry is his ability to connect with audiences through his authentic stories and warm stage presence. His decades of experience shine through in the ease and humor he brings to both his playing and storytelling. Though he’s performed with Folk and Americana greats\, Cooper has always followed his own musical vision. \n\n“Few artists can claim to make music for 50 years and still do so with the same eagerness and enthusiasm that marked their initial efforts.” Lee Zimmerman\, American Songwriter. \n\nDana Cooper remains driven by his pure love for songwriting and performing\, bringing people together through songs. From coffee houses to major concert halls\, his singular mix of virtuosity and vulnerability has earned him a lifetime of devoted fans. \n\nDuring his years as a Troubadour\, Dana has received many Accolades: \nIn the Spirit of Folk Award – Folk Alliance International \nHeritage Musician Award – Pilgrim Center for the Arts Kansas City \nBest Male Songwriter Award – Indie Acoustic Project \nBest Record – The Tennesseean \nNashville Music Award Nomination – Best Pop Album \nVeteran of the Kerrville Folk Festival \n\nHis 2022 Release\, “I Can Face The Truth” Charted on 5 different Radio Charts- Americana\, Indie Folk\, Alt Folk\, Alt Country & Roots & 3 Best of Year End Charts for 2022.”I Can Face The Truth” Ranked #22 on “Top Albums for 2022” Chart from Americana Highways Listeners – Ranking HIGHER than these amazing artists- Dolly Parton\, Brandi Carlile\, Tom Petty\, Patty Griffin\, Kris Kristofferson. \n\n\n\n  \nPrice is $10- $20 suggested and encouraged (all door proceeds go to the musician) \n \n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n						\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n					\n				\n			\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Aug 21\, 20257:00 PM\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What’s Next at the Liederkranz
