Dana Cooper with Cameron Sutphin at Stage 33 Live

BELLOWS FALLS — Nashville-based Dana Cooper is a poetic songwriter, expressive singer, insightful storyteller, and a rousing musician. He’s shared stages with the likes of Lyle Lovett, Jerry Garcia, Melissa Etheridge, Loudon Wainwright, Leo Kottke, Richard Thompson, Townes Van Zandt, and Nancy Griffith. He’s performed on Austin City Limits and Mountain Stage. He’s a recipient of the In the Spirit of Folk Award from Folk Alliance International; the Heritage Musician Award from The Pilgrim Center for the Arts in Kansas City, MO; the Best Male Songwriter Award by Indie Acoustic Project; and is a Veteran Recurring Performer at Kerrville Folk Festival.

His mixture of flat-picking, finger-picking, and percussive strumming is legendary among other guitarists. He’s been performing for nearly six decades, and has released 30 albums. His debut solo album was released in 1973 by Elektra Records.

His dad, a tenant farmer at the time, took him to his first concert back in the ’50s — they rode in a caboose on a freight train into Kansas City MO, then caught a bus to the Ernest Tubb concert at Memorial Hall. By the age of 13 Dana had begun writing his own songs, and by 16 was performing regularly at the Vanguard Coffeehouse and Sign Coffeehouse in Kansas City.

He’s coming to Stage 33 Live to play for you.
