The mirror - Dan nichols
The Mirror is Dan’s fourteenth studio album. This unique, double album reveals Dan’s expansive skill as a singer, song writer, engineer, and producer. Co-produced with long-time band mate, Mark Niemiec, this treasure trove of vibe features the popular, “All That Is Good” as well as moody and introspective sound collages like “Utzu Eitza” and “On the Mountain.” The title track, “The Mirror”, reveals Dan’s songwriting at his most raw and vulnerable- a characteristic that he has become famous for throughout North America over the last 35 years.
