DAN RAZA

Acoustic stage, South Willen Lake, Monday 7pm

His songs are said to have an “enigmatic, wistful, restless quality” at their core, and the best way to verify that is to catch him in action. The singer-songwriter is fixed in the folk roots scene. Four years have passed since he released his debut, but there is a new album on the way.
