Dan Whitehouse with Special Guests

Dan Whitehouse is always searching for something new. Over a career spanning more than two decades, the acclaimed Black Country artist has continually evolved, shifting from the introspective acoustic singer-songwriter of his early solo records into a restless, genre-defying collaborator and pioneering “documentary songwriter.”

His roots are an intriguing hybrid of the industrial and the bohemian. Born and raised in working-class Wolverhampton, Dan is the son of a community radio pioneer, but he took his first steps in San Francisco after his hippie parents briefly relocated to the West Coast in the early 1980s. That duality – a pragmatic Midlands work ethic colliding with a spiritual openness – defines his approach to making music today. He was introduced to the concept of the “flow state” at just 12 years old by his childhood bandmate, the acclaimed singer-songwriter Carina Round, though it would take him years to fully unlock it.
