Background notes
Archive material and source history
Dan Bern started putting out records in the late 1980s with 'The Dan Bern Band.' He's kept at it since, releasing albums like 'Smartie Mine' in 1997 and 'Drifter' in 2013. His songs, such as 'Swing Set' and 'Carried Away,' often have a straightforward, narrative feel.
He was born in Philadelphia in 1966. Early on, he listened to songwriters like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. That grounding in lyric-focused folk and rock comes through in his own work.
In the early 2000s, a song he wrote referencing the Columbine shooting led to some legal trouble. He kept making music through that period and after, putting out records like 'Auctioneer' and 'Spirit Gum.'
