The Tao of Dan


“And his song is in my soul,” from “Leader of the Band” (1981)

Join us as we celebrate the genius more commonly known as Daniel Grayling Fogelberg. The Peoria, IL native actually was discovered by famous music industry manager Irving Azoff (REO Speedwagon, Van Halen, Journey, The Eagles, etc.) during his college years at the University of Illinois.

A fan site says it all:

“. . . is dedicated to Dan Fogelberg and his artistry in song... ...a place to meet and talk of our love of the music, of the lyrics, of the way his hands seem to effortlessly and delicately become one with the instrument and of his voice... ...that of a herald angel. Dan Fogelberg creates a sound that takes you to your beginnings and beyond, takes you to a place of timelessness, mystery and wonderment... ...a place where dreams become reality if only for the span of that particular song... ...but... ...those few moments are a gift from beyond our memories... ...and once again we are in the heavens... ...if only for the moment. No other singer/songwriter in the world can paint an image in words as eloquently as Dan Fogelberg.”
