Dan Gediman - A soulful, rootsy gumbo of rock, blues, country, and folk that has invited comparisons
 to Steve Earle, John Hiatt, and Peter Case.  "A topnotch debut....dued, take a bow" -- Sid Griffin, MOJO.

 This Louisville-based singer-songwriter is perhaps better known as a public radio producer, having contributed
 award-winning pieces to such programs as All Things Considered, Morning Edition, This American Life, and 
 Fresh Air.  Dan's best known piece is a profile of his brother Alex, a professional Tom Jones impersonator, that
 has quickly become a public radio classic (examples of his radio work can be found on his web site at
 www.dangediman.com).

 During his 15 year radio career, Dan has won many of public broadcasting's most prestigious awards for 
 programs such as Breaking the Cycle: How Do We Stop Child Abuse and Beth's Village: A Portrait of Multiple
 Personality Disorder, but through it all, his true love has remained music.

 As a singer, songwriter, and bandleader, Dan has been active in both Dayton and Louisville music scenes
 since emigrating from the Boston area to go to college.  His most recent CD, "I Began To Fall", has been
 released on  Ear X-tacy® Records.  His previous Ear X-tacy album, "I'm Trying", received airplay on AAA and
 Americana outlets around the country.  Often placed into the Americana or roots-rock genres by critics, Dan's
 music can defy easy classification.  One writer has dubbed it "bluegrass-flavored chamber rock", others have
 called it "folkpop."

 In the wake of Dan's success as a finalist in the 1998 Kerrville New Folk Contest (past finalists include Lyle
 Lovett, Nanci Griffith, and Steve Earle), National Public Radio called on Dan to wear both his radio and music
 hats simultaneously by covering the festival for their weekend newsmagazine program Anthem.  Dan's music
 has also been featured on two other public radio programs, Fresh Air and This American Life, as part of feature
 stories about Dan's near-miss career as a child star.  He was chosen for the first cast of public TV's hit
 children's series Zoom, but then let go and replaced with a female performer.

 Dan has shared the stage with several notable acts including Patty Griffin, James McMurtry, Dan Bern, Alex
 Chilton, The Connells, and Blue Rodeo.  He was also a finalist in the Napa Valley Music Festival's Emerging
 Songwriter Showcase.  His previous albums have included "Out of The Darkness" (duets with Peter Searcy,
 former lead singer for Squirrell Bait) and "Something Big".
