Dan Bern

With a delivery that, at times, sounds just like Dylan, Dan Bern's modern day folkisms are the sort of cleverly worded, tongue-in-cheek, quasi-jaded masterpieces that aging, gainfully employed hippies go nuts for. Whether rambling along with his acoustic guitar or backed by a small country-prone band, Bern's acute observations on modern life and love, as well as his talent for hooks that sound just like those of the 1960s, is coffeehouse folk that's hit the big time.
