Description

At just 29, Dan Lipton has earned a solid reputation as one of the busiest musicians in New York City. Lipton is a musical chameleon who has forged a dynamic, diverse career by effortlessly straddling the uptown/downtown divide.

Dan Lipton performs and records with NYC's most artful rock bands (Kill Henry Sugar, Nova Social, Yazbek) as well as its brightest concert artists (Audra McDonald, Adam Guettel). Having played at Carnegie Hall and Chicago's Symphony Center, Lipton made his mark on Broadway as the youngest member of The Full Monty band and its Grammy-nominated album.

After the promising debut album TRAVELOGUE (1999) and his FAZED EP (2001), Lipton's second album LIFE IN PICTURES earned a 2003 ASCAPlus Award for Popular Music. The solid songs are anchored by Lipton's acoustic guitar and signature keyboard work. His own distinctive arrangements create an acoustic-electro-orchestral world that expands, but never overshadows, the hooky pop tunes. It's a genre-hopping joyride landing somewhere between Elvis Costello and Beck.

Working Musicians, a HarperCollins book of anecdotes edited by music journalist Bruce Pollock, is in stores now. Lipton's contribution to the book placed him on an impressive list of musicians including Carole King, Harry Connick and Keith Richards.

Dan Lipton promoted LIFE IN PICTURES throughout 2003. He performed solo gigs, small acoustic band shows, and full-blown rock sets in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver and NYC while juggling concert hall dates with acclaimed singer Audra McDonald.

Lipton has spent 2004 recording his third album, ZEITGEIST. He received a 2004 ASCAPlus Award for Popular Music on the strength of the ZEITGEIST demos. This marks the 2nd consecutive year Lipton has earned this songwriting honor from ASCAP.

ZEITGEIST will be released in 2005. It is a carnival of collaborations with some of the finest musicians and vocalists in the worlds of jazz, pop, classical and theatrical music. Live dates will resume in December and throughout 2005.
