Dan Zanes grew up in New Hampshire and squandered his twenties playing in a rock and roll band called the Del Fuegos. Anna Zanes was born nine years ago and Dan began recording the kind of family music that he heard in his head but couldn’t find in the stores. This handmade all-ages twenty first century folk sound has gone from neighborhood entertainment to a national success story. There have been six CD releases with guests including Sheryl Crow, Philip Glass, Lou Reed, Suzanne Vega and Debbie Harry. Dan Zanes and Friends, as the band is known, have toured the country extensively and have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, People, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly, as well as NPR.
In recent years, Zanes has become a top-selling artist in the overlooked genre of “family” music and plays to sold-out audiences of parents and kids all over the U.S.
