Dan Deacon

Dan Deacon got a graduate degree in electro-acoustic and computer music composition in New York before relocating to the fertile Baltimore music scene, where he and some college friends founded the Wham City arts and music collective. Equally adept at composing Steve Reich-channelling contemporary classical music as multi-coloured, spastic 8-bit symphonies to God, Deacon certainly has to be one of the most fun musicians to ever play Carnegie Hall. His latest album, grandly entitled America, represents the most seamless fusion of his classical and electronic work, and his highly interactive live shows are the stuff of legend. This one’s a must see!
