Dan Whitehouse is an award-winning UK artist living between Tokyo and Wolverhampton - a singer-songwriter, composer, producer, spoken word performer and community workshop leader, renowned for his reflective, genre-defying artistry. Born in the heart of the Black Country, the home of heavy metal, Dan’s music is rooted in pop and rock sensibilities and embraces the living poetry of spoken word. “I write folk songs, but not folk music,” he says.
Featured on Folk On Foot, his acclaimed albums The Glass Age and Voices From The Cones explore communication in our screen-fixated society, and commemorate the glassmaking communities of Stourbridge. His immersive live show A Night Of Glass weaves story and song into a mesmerising experience, moving audiences with nuanced, crystalline vocals and emotionally rich performances.
