James H Soars Media Services are promoting Dan Whitehouse June UK Tour 2026. https://www.dan-whitehouse.com/. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FFO6ks9lAA
Dan Whitehouse is always searching for something new. Over a career spanning more than two decades, the acclaimed Black Country artist has continually evolved, shifting from the introspective acoustic singer-songwriter of his early solo records into a restless, genre-defying collaborator and pioneering “documentary songwriter.”
His roots are an intriguing hybrid of the industrial and the bohemian. Born and raised in working-class Wolverhampton, Dan is the son of a community radio pioneer, but he took his first steps in San Francisco after his hippie parents briefly relocated to the West Coast in the early 1980s. That duality – a pragmatic Midlands work ethic colliding with a spiritual openness – defines his approach to making music today. He was introduced to the concept of the “flow state” at just 12 years old by his childhood bandmate, the acclaimed singer-songwriter Carina Round, though it would take him years to fully unlock it.
In October 2026 he releases Only Love, a solo piano-and-vocal LP about fatherhood, absence, and presence, written between England and Japan and recorded live with award winning jazz pianist David O’Brien who joins him at the Glee Club, alongside beatboxer, and former Birmingham poet-laureate Jasmine Gardosi and Swedish multi-instrumentalist Gustaf Ljunggren – both regular collaborators with Dan.

His latest project, Only Love (2026), is a raw, piano-and-vocal album recorded live with jazz improviser David O’Brien which will be released in October 2026.
