Dana Cooper's musical journey began at the young age of two when his father would prop him on the bar to sing along with the jukebox. Born in Missouri, Cooper was surrounded by the sounds of classic country and folk music. He quickly became enamored with the guitar and taught himself to play and harmonize vocally by listening to records.
In the 1970s, Cooper landed a record deal with Elektra Records and released his acclaimed self-titled debut album in 1972. Backed by renowned LA studio musicians "The Section," including Leeland Sklar and Russ Kunkel, the album showcased Cooper's lyrical depth and virtuoso guitar playing. Through the 70's and 80's, he built his reputation on the club circuit while also collaborating with artists like Lyle Lovett, Kim Carnes and Hal Ketchum.
Over his 50+ year career, Cooper has amassed 30 albums and continues to tour actively at age 72. His latest release, "I Can Face the Truth," encapsulates his evolution as a consummate storyteller. The album mixes his signature fingerpicking guitar and harmonica with poignant lyrics on love, loss and the current state of the world.
