#004 : Dan Zanes – Make Friend’s with CD Baby’s Top Selling Artist
CD Baby's top selling artist, singer/songwriter Dan Zanes, has been making music for over two decades. The former member of the 80’s group, The Del Fuegos, stumbled into his biggest musical accomplishment to date, creating a brand of kid’s music that is enjoyable for the whole family. His albums and performances are more than just music, but a unique experience that encourages community as well as participation. After a packed show at the Aladdin Theater in Portland, OR, Dan took time with us to recount his story. It begins with him hitting the streets, selling CDs out of the trunk of his car. Now he tours the world and works with companies like Disney and Starbucks. With all the success, Dan Zanes remains an independent artist in the truest sense of the word! The featured music in episode 4 is by Dan Zanes The intro theme song is by our very own Chris Robley
