Daniel Liszt

Daniel Liszt is a singer/songwriter from Cambridge, Massachusetts whose work has been steadily gaining attention from the music world. His first CD, the self-released "Midnight Broadcast," earned him great reviews in a variety of music magazines, including Musician and Billboard. His inclusion on several indy compilations and college radio airplay have gained him a rapidly growing underground following.
After working with his friend, acclaimed jazz violinist Mat Maneri, on a series of creative musical projects, Liszt decided to focus on writing new material and assembled a stellar band to back him up. His new CD, "Distance," produced by studio veteran Tom Dube, is being released in December, 2003. "Distance" promises to be an outstanding outing, showcasing Liszt's unique qualities as a singer, recording artist, and lyricist.

Liszt's songs, full of emotionally-charged imagery and searching lyrics, are inspired by his exploration of people, dreams, relationships, experiences and imagination. As he weaves his musical tales his compelling vocals, at once sensitive and intense, draw the listener into the internal landscape of the characters from the songs. Whether it's the forgotten folk-hero, Sunny Ray, a washed up musician that dominates "Jupiter in the Big City," or the trapped, wealthy socialite in search of redemption in Hole In the Ozone, there is a thread of psycho-spiritual distance in their lives that raises the subject matter of alienation, a recurring theme on the CD.

Liszt's music offers a storybook of ideas and feelings painted upon an eclectic, musical canvas. The combination of melodic subtlety and heartfelt sentiment that courses through his work is a musical highlight that can hardly be missed.
