Dan Krikorian offers glimpses of hope

You must have noticed that Dan Krikorian is booking his European Spring tour in 2022 but also is working on a new project called "Sessions From Island Ave." A couple of months ago Dan released the introspective and triumphant single “New England”. The track was the first single of Krikorian’s new EP that is set for release on November 5th, 2021. Krikorian recorded it with rising LA producer/producer Andrew Dawson Heringer (Milo Greene, Joshua Radin, Cary Brothers) during the summer of 2020. In the run-up to the EP release, Dan decided to release more songs from the EP. March 27th saw already the release of “Bad News”. June 25th will see the release of another wonderful Krikorian song called “Marguerite”

Krikorian about the song: “The song was written in the middle of the pandemic, and amidst a difficult year of loss, isolation, social unrest, and health scares, Marguerite is a song about small pauses in time that offer glimpses of hope for a better morning. I wrote the song during a late-night walk to the bay near my hometown.” It is Krikorian on acoustic guitar and banjo and Andrew Heringer on electric guitars, bass, drums, piano, and vocals. And of course, there is Krikorian’s extraordinary beautiful poetic way of expressing himself.

Somedays my darlin’, I’m floatin’ away
From a blue and pink house at the edge of the bay
And I know that you’re achin’, but I’m just down the hall
Mornin’ will come and we’ll conquer it all…

Live In Costa Mesa

has been hard at work building a groundswell of support as a writer and artist through his consistent and increasingly acclaimed offerings. 2019 saw the release of Krikorian’s fifth and most ambitious album to date, “Grandeur”, and with it flexed his songwriting and producing muscles throughout the 16-song musical adventure. Folk, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Americana, and Pop effortlessly meld together in the album giving “Grandeur” its widespread critical and commercial appeal. After touring both the U.S. and Europe, “Grandeur” landed on many “Best Folk/Singer/Songwriter Albums” of 2019 lists behind reviews like,

“As far as we are concerned, “Grandeur” is one of the strongest singer-songwriter albums of 2019… Dan Krikorian’s unique craftsmanship, singing talent, and songwriting skills continue to provide top songs…It certainly looks as if this record will appear in my “top 10 favorite albums list” of 2019.” -Rootstime

Known for years as a thoughtful, humorous, and emotional live performer, Krikorian recorded his first live album with the powerful backing of his 7-piece band, The DKB (Dan Krikorian Band) in the summer of 2019 upon returning from his European tour. “Alive in Costa Mesa”, was recorded in front of a large, raucous, and supportive crowd in Krikorian’s hometown of Costa Mesa during the DKB’s string of shows at the Orange County Fair. The 24-song album showcases Krikorian’s talent in both intimate solo performances in songs like “Lyla”, as well as full-band rockers in “Somethin’ Good,” “High Heels” and “Maggie”. Krikorian’s trademark quick wit and humor also shine in the album’s in-between moments, offering fans a complete listening experience from start to finish.
