Acoustic indie-pop in the vein of Sufjan Stevens and Andrew Bird. Delicate, thoughtful vocals weave in and out of a tapestry of acoustic guitar, piano, cello and an eclectic assortment of orchestral instruments.

about the album:

2007
Amplifier is a collection of 10 songs written, composed, produced, performed and recorded by Dan Beahm over the the past five years. Beahm's "heart on his sleeve" vocals weave in and out of music fueled mostly by acoustic guitar, but heavily peppered with cello, piano and the occasional oboe, English horn, French horn, clarinet or various and sundry other members of the woodwind/brasswind family. The album moves through various moods and stories and builds to an orchestral swell with the politically charged "Kandahar," but as a kind of light-hearted thanks, the listener is left with a new "dusty saloon" version of "Half as Cool as Han Solo" (previously available as an earlier recording on 2003 Renaissance Boy Recordings release Maybe I'll Fly).
