Dan Reeder is an American musician and artist. He was born in Louisiana[1] in 1954 and grew up in California. He later relocated to Germany in 1979.
Reeder was signed to John Prine's Oh Boy Records recording label after sending him a cassette tape. His self-titled debut album was released in 2003.[2] In 2006 Reeder toured with John Prine.
Reeder is noted for his original compositions (with titles such as Food and Pussy and Bach is dead and gone) which are often described as odd, original and humorous.[2][3] His music has received critical acclaim for its unique blending of blues, folk, gospel and field hollers,[4] but also criticism for his rather indelicate choice of song topics.[5] He writes, arranges, and engineers his recordings on which all instruments and vocals are played by and sung by himself through the use of multi-layering.[6]
Reeder is also an instrument-maker and builds most of the instruments that he uses for recordings and live shows.[7][8]
Besides being a musician and recording artist, Reeder is also a painter[1] and art teacher.
