Reed, Dan
Signal Fire
Dan Reed, formerly of Dan Reed Network (DRN), releases his second solo CD, Signal Fire, a collection of thought provoking tracks, co-produced by Reed and Rob Daiker (Meredith Brooks/Katy Perry/Fame Riot). Signal Fire represents a step toward a more edgier sound than his 2010 solo effort, Coming Up for Air, yet still holds on to the intention of finding hope in a world riddled with great hypocrisy. DRN was signed to Polygram in 1987 by Derek Shulman. Managed by Bill Graham and Q-Prime later, they played opening act on European tours for Bon Jovi and The Rolling Stones, and performed in America with Run DMC and UB40. Selling nearly 2 million albums worldwide, DRN was part of the funk rock movement and Signal Fire stands as a good example of where Dan can take the groove in these times, both musically and lyrically.
