Dan Reeder is what I’m here to talk about. I wanted to spring for the lighter of fare to share with you guys and this artist has been catching my ear lately. On my journey for critical opinion – I learned that the amazing singer/songwriter is only a hobbyist and that his full time efforts are devoted to creating art. (his style is ironically similar to an interesting movement born from my hood in the South deemed – OUTSIDER ART b/c of its raw uneducated quality.) Dan Reeder hails from California and lives in Germany now….. I’m not sure where he fits in on the art scene and I’ll be looking into that but on the music scene I’m confident he’s deserving a place.

For now, I urge you to explore his story, his art, the NPR reviews on his site, and these songs:

• Pussy Titty – dedicated to Frank and abolition of all domesticated kitty cats
