Dane Clark

Happy summertime to all you Dane Clark Band fans out there! The 8o date Mellencamp tour is coming to an end, and it’s been a really great run here in the USA and Canada. I can’t remember when I had this much fun on a tour that lasted this long! Thanks to all the fans who have made it the best Mellencamp tour, to me at least, in my 19 years here.

The Dane Clark Band is just now starting to book shows for summer and fall, so check the website out for updates. We have been on hiatus for the last 8 months, so all of us are chomping at the bit to play again! Many new tunes are in the works, and will have a few surprises for you long time fans this year.

My youngest daughter, Abigail Rose, will be joining us for some shows at some point this year, and her debut album is about 3/4’s finished. She has become quite the singer and performer, as well as a fine young woman. Stay tuned for news about her project at daneclark.com.

There are 2 new Dane Clark albums that are almost finished now, an Americana one featuring songs written with Fred Koller (who wrote Angel Eyes for Jeff Healey) and Nashville veteran Antoinette Oleson. The other is a alternative/psychedelic batch of tunes featuring the legendary Donovan and my pals Moby Grape.

We will keep you posted on updates about all these things and more here at daneclark.com

Hope to see you all soon!

Happy New Year to all of you Dane Clark Band fans! Much good news to impart to you all as the snowy season begins. All of the Dane Clark album projects; “Dane Clark” (1st album), “Sad Goodbye To Mr. Sunshine”, “No Apologies”,” Postcards From The Hard Road” and the brand new release “Wide Open Heart” are available worldwide on CD Baby, iTunes and virtually every other internet music outlet. If there are any of these projects you don’t own, download them today!

Also, the music video for “Yesterday’s Man” is finally finished. Make sure to check it out on the Video page. Special thanks to Samantha George for seeing this through.

We are currently booking festivals and shows for 2015, so stay tuned for upcoming shows. Right now I am with the other Mellencampers rehearsing for the “Plain Spoken” tour of 2015. Hope to see all of you at one of those shows sometime this summer.

As of this posting there are 2 albums worth of Dane Clark recordings in progress. One is a kind of psychedelic album featuring a duet with my good friend, the legendary Donovan, as well as a tune featuring the guys from Moby Grape. Really cool and unique stuff.

The other batch of songs I’ve written with Nashville songwriters like the legendary Fred Koller (of ‘Angel Eyes’ fame) and the fantastic Antoinette Oleson. These are more in line with the Americana leanings of the last couple of projects. Going to try to finish both up this year.

Keep watching for those shows that will be popping up throughout the year. We are all looking forward to seeing you!!
