His critically acclaimed 2022 release, "I Can Face the Truth" encapsulates his evolution as a consummate storyteller. The album mixes his signature fingerpicking guitar and harmonica with poignant lyrics on love, loss and the current state of the world. As one critic noted - "He sings like an angel & plays like a devil."
Cooper's first Album - released in the 70's on Elektra Records features the famous studio band - "The Section" - Now known as "The Immediate Family" - Russ Kunkel & Leland Sklar. Since then Dana has collaborated with Shake Russell, Kim Carnes (Betty Davis Eyes), Maura O'Connell, Susan Werner, Kim Richey, Don Henry, Tom Kimmel, Hal Ketchum and more.
Central to Cooper's unique artistry is his ability to connect with audiences through his authentic stories and warm stage presence. His decades of experience shine through in the ease and humor he brings to both his playing and storytelling. Though he's performed with Folk and Americana greats, Cooper has always followed his own musical vision.
