Dan Graul has long been driven by a desire to collaborate. He first found his spiritual artist, warrior-self singing in school choirs and small acapella groups. Dan’s passions moved him into theatre performance, as well as direction, production design and anything he could do to make a show.
Dan and his wife Rebecca met teaching musical theatre together at YADA in West Hollywood. From there, a fruitful creative relationship was born as well as a deep, true love. Today the pair live in LA with their three cats and a whole host of musical instruments. They created psychedelic folk band Northern Strangers, who built their reputation by playing Pink Floyd albums live and synced up with video projections around LA and on tour.
Dan also plays in psych improv group YHWH with Lee Harcourt and Pagan rock storytelling Half Tongue Tribe with David Lebarron. He released his solo debut Make America Love Again, a collection of psychedelic folk songs promoting peace, love and self reflection. Dan Is involved in the Los Angeles theatre community, serving as Sound Designer and Composer for theatrical productions and playing guitar for musicals and cabarets.
Dan describes his sound as Psychedelic Folk Adventure, drawing musical and storytelling influence from traditional folk and country music and mixing in the psychedelic aesthetic and textures of the 60’s and beyond. Through music, he seeks to examine self, confront fear and tell stories of love and the power of collaboration.
