Dan Tedesco

January 10 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm

$15 โ€“ $25

Join us at The James Theater, Friday, January 10th, for a live performance from Dan Tedesco! We hope to see you there!!

 

Dan Tedesco is an American singer-songwriter, musician, recording artist and producer, originally from the far west suburbs of Chicago. Raised on the classic songwriters of the 60s/70s โ€“ The Beatles, Dylan, Neil Young, Springsteen and Tom Petty โ€“ Tedesco layers those early pop/folk influences with both his deep background in jazz and the crunch of early 90s grunge.

 

His records are collections of stories set to sonic landscapes representing what he believes to be the crux of his generation โ€“ the balance between humanity and technology. Tedescoโ€™s live show, as recently described by a fan, borders on performance art โ€“ โ€œHeโ€™s one of a kind, truly. I genuinely love his performance. Itโ€™s raw. It SO real. Itโ€™s a one man show, that parallels that of a UFC match. But itโ€™s him against his guitar. They (him and his guitar) just go so hard at each other. And you can see it. Most apparently on his guitar, but itโ€™s abundant on his face as he sings with it in his clutches, like a snake thatโ€™s trying to strangle him. And he doesnโ€™t always win. And he knows it. But he NEVER stops fighting. It really is an original kind of performance that Iโ€™ve never seen.โ€ Tedesco has been fortunate to tour nationally, on both festival and club stages, and join artists such as Blues Traveler, David Lindley, Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters), Chuck Prophet, Alejandro Escovedo, Anders Osborne, Gin Blossoms, Langhorne Slim, Lucero, Old 97โ€™s and Josh Rouse.
