This House Is On Fire

Smell The Need For Change

Money Won't Matter When The World Is Gone

Dead In The Water

My new track (from my upcoming EP) is inspired by the uncompromising spirit of Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain and Elliott Smith, blending raw honesty with a hopeful call to action. It's an anthem for togetherness and a protest against complacency, infused with the gritty yet inspiring energy of the streets of Brooklyn. Celebrating community and inspiring hope for change through engagement and activism.

We Need Someone To Take Charge

4 songs written in and inspired by New York. Vocals and guitar recorded in single takes in front of a single microphone. Lo-fi folky songs revolving around some green ideas and thoughts captured and referenced in this postcard from New York, the symbol of modern fast-paced life.

Danish solo artist Dan Rose: "The title of the EP is a friendly nod and dedication to the legendary venue The Bitter End in New York's East Village, where the likes of Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and Jackson Browne used to perform. The heart of this EP was written in venues and bars in New York, and local artist Awkward Marina, which I saw perform at The Bitter End, even gets at mention at the top of 'The Bench In The Secret Gardens'; a song about having hope for a more positive direction for the climate debate. Another song, "Don't Be An Asshole", was written after a night out at the bar and concert venue Arlene's Grocery on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Behind the bar was a sign that said "don't be an asshole with the tips". Caring reaps benefits for everyone and in this song I compare it to taking care of our planet before it's too late, before the final bill has to be paid."
