Folk/Indie Artists Dan Bern & Common Rotation Concert Dates for April 2010

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 17, 2010 -- Hollywood, CA - After collaborating on the indie movie soundtrack "Drones", Dan Bern and Common Rotation have continued to work on various projects together. Projects include recordings for Jonathan Demme's Off-Broadway production of Beth Henley's "Family Week", an album of new Dan Bern material, and the upcoming release of Dan Bern’s greatest hits recorded live in Hollywood.

Dan Bern is best known for his prolific songwriting and electric live persona. He has released a dozen albums while spending well over a decade performing everywhere from local coffee shops to Carnegie Hall. Since releasing his first album in 1997, Dan Bern has amassed a strong underground following built on endless touring and his prodigious output of songs in all forms. Beginning in 2007, Bern focused much energy on motion pictures – he used his talents and sharp wit to compose over a dozen songs for the Jake Kasdan/Judd Apatow music biopic-spoof "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and wrote the title song for Jonathan Demme’s documentary, "Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains." Bern also composed songs that will be included in the Nick Stoller/Judd Apatow film "Get Him to the Greek," starring Russell Brand and Jonah Hill, due out June 4, 2010.

Growing up on the same block in New York, Common Rotation bandmates Adam Busch, Eric Kufs, and Jordan Katz can’t remember a time when they weren’t making music together. Fifteen years later, this sentiment is still true—although the venue has changed to Southern California. Their melodic blend consists of acoustic guitar, trumpet, banjo, harmonica, and cajon. Demanding relevancy from the pop music medium, the very distinct voice of Common Rotation is defining the modern folk song. Common Rotation continues to self-distribute their brand of modern folk music to a growing audience of dedicated fans while working within the framework of the music industry.

The documentary “How to Lose” follows them on their "Living Room Tour" from Europe to the Russian fishing villages of Alaska. Having released three previous records, "The Big Fear," "The Clear Channel EP," and "Common Rotation Is a Lie", their latest release is a joint record with The Dust Bowl Cavaliers called "Common Rotation vs. The Dust Bowl Cavaliers." Right now they are hard at work on a record with Dan Bern with a joint tour to follow.
