Singer-songwriter from Hove. MA in Composition from Bangor University. Living in North Wales.

Dan Cropper is a singer-songwriter whose songs draw from pop, rock, folk, blues & soul. His influences include George Harrison, Bruce Springsteen, Fleet Foxes & Marvin Gaye. He has played hundreds of gigs in his hometown of Stafford, as well as Manchester, Bristol & London. Whilst he disappeared off the face of the Earth musically-speaking 10 years ago, he is slowly making a resurgence in his new stomping ground of Kendal. Expect covers of classics from the 70s & 80s, with a smattering of others from more recent times. His originals address such topics as the scourge of capitalism, the scourge of humanity on the planet & the scourge of toxic masculinity.

I first started learning to play guitar when I was 13, as soon as I knew four chords It just seemed natural to write my own songs. (Couldn't be bothered to learn the minimum 5 chords required to cover other people's songs is what this means). They started off awful, with overly pretentious lyrics about falling off hazy peaks, (I don't know what a hazy peak is either), but then they slowly improved, and I felt confident enough to upload them onto the internet, trying to get as much exposure as possible. (So if you like what you hear please tell people and put my face on T-Shirts and start a cult in my name...Or click the share button, that'll do too.) I get inspired by anything, from The Smiths to Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I'm also on Twitter @Jackrabbits27.
