Dan Trilk

Dan Trilk carries on the hallowed tradition of great musical storytellers and has been compared to such artists as Willie Nelson, Randy Newman, and Neil Young. Dan started officially performing as a solo musician in 2009. Since then he’s released two full-length records, “Iowa Weather” and “The Antiparticle Man” and nine singles. His latest single ‘Lucky Like Me’ is scheduled for release on March 29th, 2024.

Trilk brings his talent as an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, and his ease in almost any genre, to his new inspired releases. Through the songs, you experience a rich gravy of rootsy musical styles all evenly poured over the meat and potatoes of Trilk’s quirky, relatable lyrics and unique, savory songwriting. From the funky and hilarious “Gas Station Hot Dog” to the touching and intimate “Not A Bird” he is showing some new sides of his personality and writing that are only hinted at in his previous work.

Although his songs often detail his personal journey, the power of Trilk’s music lies in its ability to reach the listener through their own experiences. His live shows are routinely peppered with requests for a fan’s favorite because they have built their own memories into the lyrical content as all great songs invite you to do.

For Midwest audiences Trilk’s music will make them feel like they’re having a beer with an old friend, taking stock of where they’ve been, and celebrating the good life with the ones they love.
