August 8, 2013 | 
Author Dan Godlin isn’t a name you have heard on the top 40 quite so much as other musicians. However he’s made not only a full CD and also an EP. He’s hitting the concert trail and video highway equally hard.! He was here in LA gearing up to play MusExpo in May when I caught up to him and got him on the phone for a conversation about life, music, touring, writing new tunes and lots more.

There are events where I am asked to cover– and I walk away with zip– and what I get in return could be a big box of swag sent to me or big box of four tote bags and a beach towel.
