Reverend Eddie
Danger - Dangergrass - Described as “Cosmic Folk with a
Tribal Twist of Jazz” or simply “Feel Good Music”. A One-Man Band
playing over 25 instruments. The lyrics are word-heavy stories with an
underlying message usually about political or environmental justice,
Metaphysical epiphanies or frustrations and blowing off the suburban
teen angst, bad love, & trashy rap star negative vibe mentality
saturating today’s music. “I have bad days like anyone else. I just make
a conscious effort in my songwriting to focus on the positive. Even my
sad songs tend to see the light through the clouds.” says Danger

Drew Nelson
- Drew grew up in Michigan, but escaped the narrow confines of his
small-town, Midwestern upbringing by joining the Navy and traveling the
world. He was able to see first-hand what was really happening in the
world, and come home with fresh eyes to appreciate the realities of life
in America. These experiences provided insight and understanding that have
found an outlet in songs filled with discovery, revelation, and hope.
Legendary songwriter John Gorka said "Drew's songs sound like the rest of
us feel. |
