About Dan Wallace
DAN WALLACE is a Chicago based songwriter and composer whose work is acclaimed by fans and critics alike for its originality, adventurous structure and colorful lyrics. He is most recognized for writing and performing a uniquely individual form of indie pop-rock that retains passion and sincerity while reflecting a wide range of influences, both mainstream and unconventional.His latest album, Neon and Gold, was released on February 3, 2006 on Torito Bravo Records and features performances by drummer George Lawler and violinist Elisabeth Johnson. It has been featured on broadcast and web radio in the U.S. and abroad. The CD comes encased in a beautiful 6-panel lyric book with stunning artwork by Vesna Jovanovic. Sample all 14 songs, read reviews and order it "... a tremendously catchy and yet intriguing album. As wildly creative as Radiohead or Rufus Wainwright, and as poppy as Ben Folds ..." (Smother Magazine); "Theres definitely something innovative about Neon and Gold. Maybe its the neo-psychedelic arrangements, the Alice-in-Wonderland lyrics or the smooth-as-silk delivery. Maybe we should listen again." (Performing Songwriter Magazine); "It's hard not to fall for this intoxicating and expertly-crafted LP." (The Big Takeover); "Neon and Gold proves to be refreshingly unconventional while remaining entirely within accessible bounds...[his] honey-coated, slightly mournful baritone is his best asset...[his] unique take on indie pop is sure to shine." (34st.com); "Mixing innovative music styles, with a heady range of influences With clever lyrics and an ear for a good melody Dan treats his audience to a potpourri of songs A fine debut." (Americana UK); "Wallace will always take the road less taken, though he's careful to line it with rose petals. That consideration for the listener is what makes this album such a simple pleasure to hear." (Aiding & Abetting).
Dan is also the former front man and songwriter of The Pindrops (formerly known as The Poppies or Izis). In 2004, they released their critically acclaimed self-titled debut CD, of which Rocknworld.com said: "...the entire album has individuality beyond compare. From start to finish, this album delivers." and Hybridmagazine.com said "The wacky lo-fi The Beatles. Brilliant lyrics imbedded between cool quacking guitars and cooler harmonies."
Other past projects have included scoring music for theatre and film (Dominium by Micheal Martin, Pokegan by Adam Payne), organizing concert series of contemporary classical music, and serving as co-Director of the Chicago Chamber Music Collective, which premiered his first chamber work in Chicago. His work has garnered much favorable press (including three Chicago Reader Critic's Choices) and he is also a CAAP grant recipient.
