Q @ A with Dan Bier


Q : Hi Dan, can you tell us a little about yourself?

A : Yeah sure, I am a twenty four year old singer/songwriter from Norwich. Currently living the dream but have to get a job very soon unfortunately.

Q : How did you find an affinity with Alt.Country?

A : I discovered the brilliant Ryan Adams and his album Heartbreaker and the music was so honest and simple and I just connected with it straight away. Then I just found more and more of these amazing artists and I am now hooked and dont listen to much else.

Q : Who are you listening to at the moment?

A : At the moment I cant stop listening to Neal Casal as he is just too good and has a brilliant voice. Also Ryan Adams album 29 has not been out of my cd player since it was released 6 months ago! I am obsessed with the Be Good Tanyas as well.

Q : Any plans to release your own work?

A : Yeah I am looking into it now as just made a demo and really pleased with it. Have some friends working on the art work.

Q : Can you tell us a little about your songwriting process?

A : I dont really have a process it usually just happens when I am just working things out on the guitar. I find beer helps with the lyrics! I tend to play songs to friends and if they like it I keep it.
