About this Event

THE TALENT

Acclaimed Singer/Songwriter Dana Cooper has amassed a catalog of 30+ albums and continues to tour actively. He released his highly anticipated 32nd studio album, “The Ghost of Tucumcari”, on May 17, 2024. Featuring an All-Star lineup of guest artists, the album marks a major achievement for the veteran musician. Artists lending their voices to this project are Lyle Lovett, Hayes Carll, Susan Gibson, Mando Saenz, Darden Smith, Shake Russell, Libby Koch and more. "The Ghost of Tucumcari” takes listeners on a stirring musical journey across genres from Folk and Rock to Country and Americana.

Cooper's first Album - released in the 70's on Elektra Records features the famous studio band - "The Section" - Now known as "The Immediate Family" - Russ Kunkel & Leland Sklar. Since then Dana has collaborated with Shake Russell, Kim Carnes (Betty Davis Eyes), Maura O'Connell, Susan Werner, Kim Richey, Don Henry, Tom Kimmel, Hal Ketchum and more.
Central to Cooper's unique artistry is his ability to connect with audiences through his authentic stories and warm stage presence. Dana's mixture of flat-picking, finger picking, and percussive strumming is "Legend Among Other Guitarists." His harmonica playing equally impressive. As one critic noted, "he sings like an angel and plays like the devil."
His decades of experience shine through in the ease and humor he brings to both his playing and storytelling. Though he's performed with Folk and Americana greats, Cooper has always followed his own musical vision.
"Few artists can claim to make music for 50 years & still do so with the same eagerness & enthusiasm that marked their initial efforts." - American Songwriter - Lee Zimmerman
"Dana has a poet's eye for beauty & detail, a blue's man's soul & a songbird's gift. He is remarkable." - Hayes Carll - Acclaimed Musician
