Music Performance Today by Dan Henig

Photo Submitted

Musician Dan Henig will perform live in the Union Connections Lounge at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9. Henig’s tracks bring to mind the radio friendliness of multiple big-name musicians, but his attention to detail and lyrical creativity helps set him apart. Behind the euphonious hooks, there’s a lyrical depth and, at times, a kind of darkness more suggestive of Leonard Cohen, one of Henig’s major influences.

Although pop musician Dan Henig made his industry debut performing a viral cover of LiL Jon’s “Get Low” in 2012, he’s been writing and performing original material for years. He has released a promotional EP produced in collaboration with acclaimed producer Tim Patalan (Lovedrug, Sponge, Taproot, etc.), and is set to release new record following his 2014 college tour.

With a festival appearances, a nationwide college tour, and several opening slots for acts such as 3 Doors Down, Brett Dennen, Josh Krajcik, and Theo Katzman, Henig’s performances continue to captivate audiences of a broad range. As a performer, Dan does not simply play to his audiences, but interacts with them in a unique way that evokes rare emotional appeal and highly entertaining live performances.
