Kansas City Special Place for Singer Dan Coyle
Dan Coyle
KC A Pivotal Point in Musician’s Career…Performs Nov. 16 at RecordBar–Free CD with Every Ticket
Kansas City has been very good to Dan Coyle, and now the acclaimed singer songwriter Dan Coyle aims to give something back by launching his new CD at RecordBar Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m.
Coyle has twice played the KCRiverFest Independence Day Festival in Kansas City as well as other local venues. He had such an enthusiastic welcome from Kansas City audiences that he chose to offer his new CD “You Linger Your Little Hour And Are Gone” free to every ticket holder at his RecordBar appearance Tuesday.
“In 2007, I got my first big break when I played at the Folklore Alliance Conference in Memphis. From there I started to make some fans, got some exposure on some NPR stations. Things went pretty well until early 2009, when my Dad died,” Coyle said.
“I lost some momentum. I wasn’t working until KCRiverFest 2009 got me back on the road.”
“I stayed in close contact with the people from Kansas City and it gave me this sense of hope that there was a need or a want or a market for my kind of music and I needed to get out and do things again. Kansas City gained this little place in my heart from what it did in breaking me loose from the stagnation. It wasn’t a big break in the traditional sense but it got me back where I needed to be. I’m thrilled to be back in KC.”
Tickets are $10 at the door or may be pre-ordered online. Every ticketholder gets a free copy of his new CD. RecordBar is located at 1020 Westport Road in Midtown Kansas City. Call 816-753-5207 for directions or more information. Singer Kevin Hiatt will open the performance.
Coyle recently completed a tour of the Seattle area and is preparing for a European Tour in February.
Coyle’s music has been described by Alexandra McKay of the Prince Street Press as “Bright musicality and sunny inflections almost hide the thoughtful and thought-provoking lyrics that are woven throughout this album. A lo-fi live recording that’s simple without being simplistic, and utterly charming.”
“It’s an acoustic mix of Paul Simon and Bob Dylan, with some soft and hard edges to it.” Coyle said.
Coyle has released five albums to date, including “Random Thoughts and Incomplete Sentences” and “Briar Street: The Acoustic Sessions.” His latest album is scheduled for wide release December 1. He has toured nationally, playing everything from small venues to concert halls to massive festivals.
