Concert Night: Dan Krikorian-Performing Colors and Chords August 14, 2010

Whether it's a venue that houses 1,000 or a coffee shop that seats 10, Dan — aided by natural folk rhythms and honest, poetic lyrics in the vein of musicians Joe Purdy and Josh Ritter — always manages to connect with the crowd.
In the past two years, he has garnered the attention of many and created a buzz in Southern California music circles. Dan and his five-piece band have been featured in publications such as The Orange County Register and The Los Angeles Times, and both "Oxford Street" and "Colors and Chords" have earned airplay on college radio stations across the U.S. and Europe.

Dan has an established fan base in Southern California and has performed in distinguished venues such as The Gypsy Lounge in Lake Forest, the Dakota Lounge and Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles, and LeStat’s in San Diego. His shows in O.C. and L.A. venues have laid the foundation for his first West Coast tour, which includes stops in nearly every major city from California through Washington and features key shows in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, Calif., San Francisco Portland, Ore., Seattle, and Idaho State University.

"The universal strength of "Colors and Chords" that reaches across all genres, skill-sets, and expertise — whether you know music or not — is how well-written and poetic Dan's every song is. This album at its very core is a collection of great poetry rich in superb imagery, paired with intentionally moving and soulful tracks."
'Time is Contagious'

"The level of songwriting on "Colors and Chords" is very high and Dan's pleasant voice at times reminds you of Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish."
