Dane Clark

Greetings to all you music lovers and specifically to Dane Clark and Dane Clark Band fans! 2022 has begun and there are lots of things to update everyone on.
My podcast with esteemed co hosts Hugh Syme and Andy Wilson has begun its second season. It’s been a pleasure for all of us to interview so many great musicians and people in the music business. Please check us out at musicbuzzzpodcast.com.
The new John Mellencamp album, “Strictly A One-Eyed Jack” has been released to rave reviews. Very proud to be part of this eclectic collection of songs, and deeply honored to have Bruce Springsteen on three tracks. 2022 is my 26th year as a Mellencamper! Time flies!
The Dane Clark Band has a brand new promo video filmed at the Brown County Music Center. Special thanks to Lifeboat Digital Media for this fantastic footage!
Coming in early spring will be a new Dane Clark and the Backroom Boys project titled “Memory Mile” with killer album art by Hugh Syme and guest appearances by Donovan, Elliott Murphy, Jon Herington from Steely Dan, as well as my daughter Abigail.
A second album is almost complete as well and will be released in the fall. Stay tuned.
We are currently booking festivals and shows for the year so please check in, we will update our gig list as they come in. Stay positive and test negative! God bless!!

Greetings from isolation music fans! I sincerely hope everyone is staying safe and healthy in body, mind and spirit. These last few months have sure been a wake up call to me, as I’m sure they have to all of you. With live music virtually nonexistent and all recording sessions cancelled, I found a way to keep busy. Start a new band and make an album (and a batch of videos) about this pandemic! On August 21st I am releasing “Songs From Isolation” by Dane Clark and the Backroom Boys featuring John Sebastian, Abigail Clark and Jason Sturgeon. This 12 song album was recorded by all involved from their own workspaces and mixed by me at my Thundersound Studio. And yes, we are VERY honored to have the legendary John Sebastian, on harmonica and guitar, as part of our line up. The band is rounded up by myself on drums and vocals, Troye Kinnett on all manner of keyboards and vocals, Randy Melson on bass guitar, Erik Scull on guitars and vocals, and my daughter Abigail Clark on vocals. My old friends Jason Sturgeon (vocals) and Scott Kemper (piano) are also featured on the album. We will be releasing electronically everywhere, as well as in CD format, which will be available from this webpage. We hope to be able to play the whole record from top to bottom in a few venues before the end of the year, but we will have to see how that works out pandemically. Miss playing music for you all and hope to see everyone soon! Blessings, Dane
