	Messenger Records - DAN BERN
		Dan certainly hasn't on this trenchant EP, as empathetic as it is angry, and as comical as it is concerned for his country.
		Bern is in love with the power of words to turn on themselves, to frolic, to bite, and his strong, friendly voice can go from earnest to ferocious within seconds.
		Dan Bern continues to bring the funny, but this time he's smuggling it within 13 musically eclectic songs, a wider worldview, and his most sophisticated recording to date.

		Dan was playing a coffeehouse at Elgin Community College in Elgin, Illinois and my family went to see him, just by chance.
		When he performed at NIU, Dan lived in my dorm room for a long weekend, and we spent the time eating lots of pizza and playing guitar, which was quite an experience.
		It's great to find that Dan is finally getting the recognition that he deserves, even if people keep trying to put him in too-small boxes, and it's nice to know that we were right when we recognized a great talent.

		Bern grew up watching movies and listening to the Clash, and (though this makes 1993 seem like a really long time ago) was part of a generation that didn't care whether or not it had a spokesman.
		Bern goes on to talk about Einstein, olives and Dr. Nusbaum ("he's my therapist, he said get it out in the open"), and, well, I want to quote the whole thing so just go read the lyrics yourself.

		Dan Bern @ Slims - Nov. 11 2006
		Went and saw the always witty and insightful Dan Bern play last night at Slims in San Francisco.
		I’ve seen Dan play quite a few times before, and it’s always been enjoyable, but last night the man really stepped up to the plate.

		Bern's father was a concert pianist who emigrated from Lithuania to Palenstine in 1939, a Jew who was one step ahead of the Nazis.
		In time Bern found the guitar, and his way to the West Coast, whre he got his footing in the neo-folk music scene in Los Angeles in the early 1990s.
		Like Lenny Bruce, Bern can also be joyously obsene, which shouldn't be obscene at all, as well as tender and even devout.

		Bern's father was a concert pianist who emigrated from Lithuania to Palentine in 1939, a Jew who was one step ahead of the Nazis.
		Bern is a song-writing machine, so close to the curve of current events that he sometimes comes across more as a singing political columnist than a poet.At the Bottom Line, he performed a song called "The Day They Found a Cure for AIDS," and a truly chilling song about schoolyard shootings a la Kip Kinkel.
		The song culminated with Bern as a mid-Eighties Bruce bellowing out the bridge to the song (Bern claimed that was the only time Springsteen had musical bridges in his songs, necessitating that particular impersonation).

	Concert Reviews \| Dan Bern in Madison
		Anytime Dan Bern is on stage, it seems like any minute the most powerful people in the music business might swoop in and encase the ultra-talented singer-songwriter in the velvety cocoon of top-line industry success that still seems his inevitable, if yet unfulfilled, destiny.
		The Madison show was no exception: Bern’s muscular, energetic performance was welcomed with adulation by a near-sell-out audience, whose clear affections for him were apparent through their loud reactions and loyal recognition of even the earliest, or rarest, material.
		Bern was helped in this regard by his noted ability to engage the audience in laughing, joyous call-and-response, quite a feat for an artist unfairly hemmed into the super-serious “folk-rock” niche.

	Dan Bern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dan Bern (aka Bernstein, a name which he sometimes performs under) is a guitarist, singer, songwriter, novelist, and painter.
		His music is often compared to that of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello.
		Although a vein of social and political humor runs though even his earliest work, Bern's work became more explicitly political during the 2004 US presidential election campaign, with songs such as "Bush Must Be Defeated" and "President" highlighting his sometimes surreal political takes.

	Dan Bern - PopMatters Concert Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Bern and his band the International Jewish Banking Conspiracy spent the next 90 minutes earnestly working through a tight set that ranged from arch to smug to quietly beautiful.
		Though many of the songs seemed to rely in part on clever premises or namechecking for much of their power, there were moments of sheer beauty in the set, like "God Said No", that had the couples of all persuasions in the crowd swooning together in perfect rhythm.
		But the spectacle of Bern strumming an acoustic guitar surrounded by 100 or so ecstatic fans brought a smile to my face, especially when Bern finally displayed a moment of less-than-perfect musicianship by forgetting the words to the request called out by his keyboardist.

	Dan Bern - New American Language (Album Review)
		Once again, Bern brandishes his songs with the folk-rock swagger of The Byrds and Bob Dylan, while adding in a touch of punk-rock angst à la Elvis Costello.
		Throughout his career, Bern has taken a bit of flak from critics who can't get past his sense of humor or the way he often leans on the musical styles of his predecessors.
		It's a shame really, for Bern (along with Matthew Ryan, Jeff Tweedy, Steve Earle, John Wesley Harding, and Ryan Adams) is surely one of the great songwriters to emerge in recent years.

		Dan Bern's obsession with Bob Dylan (and, to an extent, Elvis Costello) is easy to stomach because he takes himself so humorously.
		Bern brings a real punk-rock attitude to the songs -- this is not like your father's folk records.
		Upon my first listen of "Dan Bern", it was instantly obvious that he really really wants to be the next Bob Dylan - he even tries to sound like him in a lot of the songs.

		Bern definitely has the guts to confront his musical influences directly.
		While touches of harmonica and organ remind the listener of some of the trailblazers on the particular career path which Bern has chosen, there's no question that he has the confidence and talent to make his own way.
		The eleven songs on DAN BERN are a representative showcase for his humor, his outrage, and his bite.

		For Dan Bern, comparisons to Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello are inevitable—Bern is reflexively literate, in the style of his favorite authors, including L.A.’s legendary bohemians Charles Bukowski and John Fante, urbane fantasist James Thurber, and yarn-spinning humorist Ring Lardner.
		Bern has never been one to hold his tongue, particularly about vitally important current events, and he certainly doesn’t mince words on My Country II, as empathetic as it is angry, and as comical as it is concerned for the country.
		Bern’s current tour takes him through his home state, throughout the Midwest and New York, and into Canada.

		Well the disc does begin with a song called "Tiger Woods." After watching the Masters that weekend I was wondering if Dan Bern wishes he could change the name of the song to "Mark O’Meara." But I guess when you think about it "Tiger Woods" probably has a little more charisma to it.
		Bern has his own theory of evolution on a song called "No Missing Link." His theory is something along the lines of E. mating with Cheetah.
		Dan Bern can be offensive when he wants to, just not in this song.

		On his first album, New Jersey-based singer/songwriter Dan Bern brings a literate, occasionally smart-alecky tone to acoustic roots rock.
		Sympathetically produced by Springsteen associate Chuck Plotkin, DAN BERN is a loose, rollicking debut with a relaxed freshness that's sometimes missing from the sometimes self-serious roots-rock genre.

	JamBase \| DAN BERN ANNOUNCES ALBUM
		Dan Bern’s Breathe, out September 19 on Messenger Records, isn’t music with “big balls” – it’s music with a big, beating heart.
		And on the new disc – Bern’s 6th full-length, supported by a litter of EPs and a 2004 novel – the prolific songwriter focuses his preternaturally observant storytelling eye deeper into the characters that populate his songs.
		With the help of longtime producer Chuck Plotkin (Bruce Springsteen, among others), and a bit of selflessness, Dan disappears into these song-sized narratives and allows his characters to voice their own - and, by extension, our shared - lives.
