Minneapolis alternative singer-songwriter Dan Hylton is a purveyor of the fine art of Craft Pop.
With inspiration drawn from college rock songcraft of the mid 90s, the former 44 frontman's approach is earnest and playful, catchy and evocative. In recordings and performance, he evokes a presence that is disarming and yet possesses a gravity of energy and emotion. Think Morrissey mixed with Wings. Or a slightly offbeat Glen Hansard. In August 2012, Hylton released his first solo EP, The Secret of Him.
