Dan Hamann – Lumbering Grace
A great mission for those artists who, with their charisma and talent, amuse and make people laugh in our difficult times. We would like to single out comedians working in the music genre, where thanks to the song form and musical arrangements they will create a unique layer of culture where the world of irony and self-esteem is revealed in a special form. American Dan Hamann is one of those heroes we are talking about.

For more than 20 years, Dan has been confidently following his creative path and bringing people joy from his artistic activity. All these years he performed and sang his verses live and was successful in this matter. During the lockdown, the artist thought about creating a record of all successful numbers and for this purpose gathered a phenomenal team of musicians who recorded their parts on distance. The numbers speak for themselves: 72 instruments from 26 musicians from 14 countries were involved in the creation of this album. 


And the first track 'This Shirt Don't Feel Right' sounds as powerful as James Brown's music with beautiful wind arrangements and virtuoso guitar solos. In the second track, 'Fonzie Dies with Us' is a waltz that plays a fairy-tale motif from which cartoon characters jump out and play their role against the background of a funny melody. 'The Dog Song' is an ode to the dog and its problem. A playful move like in 'Hit the road Jack!' turns into a real flamenco in the middle of song. Сonversely 'Block Captain' is made in the style of Nick Cave's dark wave, with a sense of melodrama that develops against the background of such disturbing music. The album 'Lumbering Grace' contains 12 tracks and in each of them there is a change of voice and timbre conveying the true atmosphere of each story. Appreciate the talent of parody and actor, musician and singer Dan Hamann in the full album 'Lumbering Grace' below on Spotify.
