Dan’s “Smart, funny, quirky, powerhouse songwriting, distinctly New York." - Jezebel Music.

Dan’s newest album, 2020’s "New Waves" is a dance about the fear and weathering of a storm - an essay on surviving a sinking feeling.

With original guitar and piano ballads, ragtime, country blues, hip hop, show-tunes, acoustic comedy and rock ‘n roll, Costello’s eleven albums stretch the folk definition.

In live performances, Costello’s just as likely to perform a monologue or invent a new song as he is to play the favorites from his albums. It’s energetic and different every time. Dan can prepare a set of material for kids, for grown-ups, or for an all-ages crowd.

Costello has toured over twenty countries, including a three-month European tour which stretched from Ireland to Belarus.
