Influenced by the classics of the American songbook, Dan has been chasing the musical muse for over 20 years. He grew up in St. Paul, MN, but spent his formative years in Austin, Texas, playing bars, coffee shops and peace rallies. He plays a wide variety of songs in folk, rock, blues and reggae, both original songs and an abundance of cover tunes. He draws inspiration from the greats of the 60s and 70s, like Bob Dylan and Cat Stevens.

In 2011 Cioper released his solo LP, "Warrior Utopian", which included many of Austin's top musicians and was produced by Courtney Audain (Timbuk 3).  It earned top pick in the March 2011 issue of Babysue (http://www.babysue.com/2011-March-LMNOP-Reviews.html#anchor792035).
