St. Louis native Dan Schaefer was voluntarily transplanted to Nashville in the mid-‘90s, and a hook-heavy pop writing style was treated to an infusion
of folk, country and Americana influences. His songs have been cut by independent artists including Mark Hatt, Cindy Standage and Kathy Hussey.
While writing for other artists was always the plan, Dan became active in the Nashville music community and eventually succumbed to requests to also work
as an artist. He can often be found playing tunes at random watering holes in Nashville and elsewhere. He’s hit
the circuit as a finalist at festivals including the Gum Tree Festival in Tupelo, Mississippi, and the Riverbluff Acoustic Music Festival in Ashland City,
Tennessee. The songwriter/singer’s imaginary autobiography Three Cuts and a Day Job is still a work in progress.
Here's Dan playing live at Norm's River Roadhouse in Nashville.
"Love Like Strangers" (from the CD So Romantic) live at Norm's, September '09.
