About the Artist
With the passion of a poet and the power of a rocker, Dana Cooper's been thrilling listeners for over two decades. His highly original lyrics, skillful guitar work and evocative vocals have earned him a devoted following with fans and critics alike.
Vic Garbarini, writer for Playboy and Guitar World, described Cooper as “literally the best singer/songwriter to emerge from Nashville in over a decade…His heartfelt but sophisticated lyrics aim to reconcile the heart and mind of everyday life. His sense of melody is unique and he has a voice that could melt icecaps”
Originally from Independence, Missouri, Cooper was playing his own music in Kansas City clubs by the age of 16. After dropping out of college and leaving behind an art scholarship, he headed for Los Angeles. Elektra records released his self-titled debut solo album featuring luminary players Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar and Jim Horn. Cooper later moved to Texas in 1978 to join forces with long time friend Shake Russell and together they recorded three highly successful folk-rock albums, one of which was released by MCA. The duo became one of the most successful acts in Texas and throughout the Southwest and appeared on Austin City Limits.
By 1993, Cooper decided to explore new artistic styles and formed a band called Dana Cooper's DC3. This high-energy rock band released two independent albums which garnered airplay on college radio throughout the US and Canada. 1992 saw the release of his first independent CD Stone by Stone. This album opened the door to a wider variety of audiences including alternative and public radio. In 1994, Cooper's Thrill of Love (recorded with Shake Russell and Jack Saunders) won “Album of the Year” in the Houston Press/KLOL Music Awards.
Cooper recently won “Best Songwriter in Houston,” and was nominated “Best Male Vocalist” by the Kerrville Music Foundation and was also nominated for their “Hall of Fame.” Cooper's songs have been recorded by top notch artists Maura O'Connell, Trout Fishing in America, Christine Albert and co-writer Pierce Pettis who said “Dana Cooper is one of my all-time favorite singer/songwriters. He's as good as it gets.”
