Dana Cooper

Anderson Fair presents Dana Cooper.

Dana Cooper hails out of ‘the heartland of America’ playing his music in Kansas City clubs by the age of 16. He left behind a college art scholarship to tour the country, ultimately landing in Los Angeles. His self-titled debut solo album featuring players Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar and Jim Horn, was released in 1973 on Elektra Records.

Over the years Cooper has released many independent solo albums including Nashville Music Award’s ‘Best Pop Album’ nominee ‘Miracle Mile’ (1997). Dana was also ‘picked by Performing Songwriter Magazine as one of the top twelve DIY recordings for the year. Cooper’s CD, ‘Harry Truman Built A Road’ (2001), was named one of the best records of 2002 by The Tennessean in Nashville and was again chosen as one of the top twelve DIY recordings for that year.’

Cooper’s ‘Made of Mud’, released in 2005, is a crowing accomplishment with a mix of songs that span the entirety of his career. The 11 tracks bring a wide range of human experience…’There are songs about mortality and immortality, politics and religion and love, the struggle of living, and the possibilities of how much we can accomplish,’ says Cooper. ‘It’s a journey through life, from song to song.”
