Artist InformationBiography
Dann Russo is a little alt, a little classic, a smidge country and all rock. He’s a singer-songwriter with radio-ready original songs and a live show so electric, you’ll be amazed it’s just acoustic. A "soon to be phenomenon" (NorthEast In-Tune Magazine), Dann is a lively act that’s hard to follow.
As the inspiration for the rockstar heartthrob in the Penguin-Putnam YA release MODELS DON’T EAT CHOCOLATE COOKIES by Erin Dionne, Dann’s music is also available on the author’s website.
Listen to Dann on your computer as he plays shows streaming live through the virtual world of Second Life (listed as "other" at Pacific Time). Streaming info here: www.facebook.com/dannrussomusic
"Don't Say That" by Dann Russo (that's me!) was recognized by Gary Allen (BMI (Charlie Daniels Band/JJ Cale) The Music City Beat/Editor in Chief) as a "Very Honorable Mention" in the May-August '09 "Best Song in the World" competition.
