Press


"Sawyer House Productions press kit"

“Dan’s work is of a very high caliber.  His prose and poetry is wise beyond its years, as mature and controlled a body of writing as that of any college student I’ve taught.”

- Jacinda Townsend Gides
[Visiting professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison]

“Dan’s writing is superb. He can be howlingly funny. He can also be insightful and serious. ... Serious, smart, dedicated. He is a young man seemingly without limitations.”

- Frederick Smock
[Poet-in-residence, Bellarmine University]

"Dan’s one-man show [“Moments of Disconnect”] is just another example of his tremendous ability to capture thought processes and emotions and present those to audiences ... , causing them in turn both to feel what he’s feeling and to think what he’s thinking. It’s a captivating look into the mind of an extraordinarily thoughtful person, while at the same time a compelling call for increased thoughtfulness on the part of the listener."

- Ben Hampton
[Supporter - Valparaiso, IN]

"You know, I could look through the entire dictionary once, twice and then again and not find even half of a single word to express how much feeling and emotion is in [his] poetry."

- Danielle Vescio
[Supporter - Lexington, KY]

"Unique, intelligent, moving... Dan’s musical and poetic artwork speaks to a wide variety of people. Dan is a very gifted artist and is a true pleasure to work with." and "In comparing Dan to canned meat, he would certainly be SPAM, not one of those countless other derivative canned meat products that are inferior to SPAM."

- Dave Peterson
[Promoter - Lexington, KY]

"I like a lot of different performers, but usually only some of what they do. I like everything I’ve heard Dan do."

- Scott McNeill
[Former entertainment coordinator, UNC-Greensboro]

"Dan’s one-man show combines a perfect blend of original poetry and personal anecdotes. Dan is far beyond his years and it certainly comes through in his writing. Never have I seen such emotion come through while reading poetry as when Dan reads. This event is not to be missed."

- Katy Menard
[Supporter - Dayton, OH] - None

Bio

Singer-songwriter Dan Bernitt has the courage to speak his mind - that's not news. Making music is certainly not new for him either; he has been writing and making music for years, starting on the piano at age eight and the guitar a few years later. Influenced and inspired by musicians like Ani DiFranco, Tracy Chapman, and Duncan Sheik, Dan provides an aggressive, yet somber, folk-rock sound on politics, love, and heartbreak. His lyrics, mostly based on life experiences, have hit strong emotional notes, made even more poignant by the way that nearly anyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation, can relate to his words. His songs will press bruises unapologetically - not obligated to make you smile, but hopefully his lively presence onstage will counter that.
