SUMMARY:Dana Cooper in Concert! Houseboat Jim Visone opens
DESCRIPTION:Help us welcome Dana Cooper to the ACMA stage!\nDana Cooper is a poetic songwriter\, an insightful storyteller\, and a rousing musician whose performances engage and inspire audiences around the world.\nCooper’s lifelong passion & devotion to music began at age 2 in Kansas City. His father\, George\, was a huge influence. One of Dana’s earliest memories is of his father taking him to the Calico Cat\, popping a coin in the jukebox and listening to Dana sing along with Hank Williams & Ernest Tubb.\nAt age 20 a move to LA resulted in a record deal with Elektra Records where he recorded his first album with members of “The Section” Russ Kunkel and Leleand Sklar\, as well as other luminary players Jim Horn\, Al Perkins\, Jim Gordon\, Joe Osborne\, and Lee Holdridge. This album still wins accolades today and was recently reissued on the Warner/Japan label.\nAfter several years in California and a year recording in Seattle\, Cooper moved to Texas where he wrote and performed with Shake Russell. They released several independent albums and one album for Southcoast/MCA.\nDana formed his own experimental bands\, DC3\, and Nuclear Family and released his first solo project Complicated Stuff. In 1988 he moved to Nashville\, TN to pursue his songwriting career collaborating with other songwriters.\nCooper’s songs have been recorded by a variety of artists such as bluegrass singer Claire Lynch\, Irish vocalist Maura O’Connell\, Nashville songbird Jonell Mosser\, as well as songwriters Pierce Pettis and Susan Werner. His incredible catalogue and musical sensibilities have led to endorsements from AirPlay Direct and Elixir Strings.\nDana’s new 2022 CD\, “I Can Face the Truth” will be available. Pick up an autographed copy!\ndanacoopermusic.com\nDoor donations:\n$12/Members\n$18/Non Members\nWho better to open than Houseboat Jim Visone?
