Dan Whitehouse

A Night Of Glass Dan Whitehouse with Gustaf Ljunggren An evening of songs, stories and exceptional musicianship from a reflective duo Dan Whitehouse is an award-winning UK artist living between Tokyo and Wolverhampton; a singer-songwriter, composer, producer, spoken word performer, and community workshop leader renowned for his reflective, genre-defying artistry. Born in the heart of the Black Country, the home of Heavy Metal, his music is rooted in pop and rock sensibilities and embraces the living poetry of spoken word. The result is music that is both deeply emotive and intellectually rich. Dan says, “I write folk songs, but not folk music.” Featured on Folk On Foot, his acclaimed albums, The Glass Age and Voices From The Cones, explored our glass screen-fixated society’s communication challenges, as well as commemorating glassmaking history and community in Stourbridge. Influenced by keeping in contact with his young son living in Japan, songs and stories from both these projects feature in his immersive live show, A Night Of Glass, a simple but hypnotic live experience in which, variously behind a piano, synth or on guitar, Dan takes audiences deep into the heart of glass, with expressively nuanced crystalline vocals, effortlessly mining a wealth of emotions and ideas. Swedish multi-instrumentalist Gustaf Ljunggren, co-producer of The Glass Age and featured artist on Voices From The Cones is flying in from Copenhagen to join Dan for this show. Lunggren also brings music from his own Floreana album. One of northern Europe’s most distinctive instrumentalists, Gustaf was educated as a saxophonist at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen and also plays wind instruments, various keyboards, the piano, pedal steel and strings. A Night Of Glass, is a night for reflection. A heartfelt experience led by Dan’s expressive vocals, songs and stories, alongside Gustaf’s musicality.
