Dan is touring in support of his newest album, Hoody, which was released this past September. (we hope to have a review of that album in the January newsletter) His voice, to me, is a mix between Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. He has al- ways been defiantly uncompromis- ing in his writing style. He is a singer, songwriter, a painter and a writer and sometimes you get all of that tossed in to one song. He currently has over 2 dozen albums released, everything from a children’s record to a record of just baseball songs. Dan’s songs range from topical to funny, often using iconic char- acters such as, Woody Guthrie, Bob On January 23, we will welcome ternation Folk Alliance Festival, where Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Mari- Dan Bern making his first MadFolk ap- when he plays a room you be get there lyn Monroe and many, many more. pearance.

  • David Huckfelt Room Enough, Time Enough
    David Huckfelt Room Enough, Time Enough When the world's on fire and the seeds of division are sown throughout the land, music and storytelling have forever held a sacred space for healing and renewal. Room Enough, Time Enough, the second full-length solo record from Minneapolis singer-lyricist & folk activist David Huckfelt (formerly of The Pines) is a record about restoring balance: space and attention, peace and equality, redeeming the marginalized, and remembering the forgotten. In March of this year, just as his new album neared completion, David Huckfelt and his partner welcomed their first child into the world. While the songs and record were written with protecting and nurturing this new life in mind, they had no idea how difficult and dangerous their new world was about to become. “Having our son arrive just as the country entering the throes of the Covid pandemic was a crushing exercise in vulnerability; even now in early fall, no one in our family has been able to meet Billy yet and the risks around every turn are just menacing. Then, just as we were getting the hang of quarantine and isolation, George Floyd was murdered less than a mile away from where we live.” At home in Minneapolis, Huckfelt and his partner found themselves isolated with a newborn in what would become the epicenter of the greatest global rebuke of police violence and institutional racism in modern history. As crisis compounded upon crisis, Huckfelt’s new record became for him a lifeline and an anchor between vulnerability and revolution, between a sleeping infant and a city on fire.
