Dan Coyle

February 1997 – Dan watches the sky and tunes an AM radio. He listens to late night talk

shows and thinks about travel, about space exploration, and decides that at some point in a

past life, he was a sailor.

October 1997 – Tuning that very same radio, Dan stumbles upon Nat King Cole’s version

of “Our Love is Here to Stay.” He no longer regrets his insomnia.

January 1998 – Dan sits and reads in the high school library and dreams about things that

are bigger than tiny Churchville, NY. He likes poetry, especially Robert Frost.

September 2000 – Escaping small towns forever, he studies Theater Performance at

Niagara University near the Canadian border.

March 2001 – A girlfriend gives Dan his very first acoustic guitar. Suddenly he has a new

way to talk about things and he likes it. He likes it so much he learns all the ways the

Beatles talk about their things. And the way Paul Simon does, and the way Bob Dylan

does, and . . .

May 2004 – Dan graduates and moves to Chicago.

April 2006 – He starts to write and record songs.

August 2007 – Dan records his debut album in his apartment on Briar Street in Chicago.

It’s called “Briar St. Sessions” and was followed up two years later on

June 1st, 2009 – with “Random Thoughts and Incomplete Sentences.” He forgoes all

ties to “regular jobs” and tours the country throughout the

Rest of 2009 – madly. He loves the vagabond life and finds himself on Bleecker Street

in New York City in

December of 2009 – and thinks that this is as good a place as any to write a new album.

He hangs around for the winter and sets out again in the

Spring of 2010 – in a fateful white van named Betty. Betty dies a terrible death in Moline IL,

so Dan returns to New York to record his third album. The album, titled “You Linger Your

Little Hour and Are Gone,” will be released on

November 16th, 2010 – at which point he will recommence touring. Currently, Dan is making those very plans, and hopes that you find part of yourself in those melodies.
