Costello, "Poison" from Dan Costello on Vimeo."Few singer-songwriters have a stage presence as welcoming and engaging as Dan Costello. Dan Costello comes to entertain, and he succeeds. Costello writes and performs vividly-worded folk songs in the anti-folk tradition: smart, funny, quirky, powerhouse songwriting, distinctly New York. Armed with a booming, clear voice and a six-string, Costello sings his thoughtful, intelligent lyrics from the heart. His performance was full of energy and imagery, and even a bit of the theatrical – Very cool!" - Jezebel Music

"A little bit country, a little bit, um other weird, cool stuff." - Boulder Weekly
"This folk-rapper-poet is [in] magically in-your-face in a pleasant way (but not too pleasant). Humorous social criticisms percolate tastily throughout his songs, a refreshing blast of lyrics in a songwriter climate of confessionals and narcissisms." --Gabriel Levitt, jezebelmusic.com
