Dan Bern to perform

at Café Paradiso tonight
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Dan Bern will come to Eugene tonight, toting his guitar and fantastic collection of bitingly sharp songs. Bern’s unique style has been compared to Bob Dylan, Lenny Bruce, Arlo Guthrie and Elvis Costello.
With songs covering all manner of pop culture happenings — from the potential of time travel to chance moments in history to ironic messianic proclamations — Bern has gained national attention and critical praise for his work.
His most recent full-length album, “Fleeting Days,” was released in March and is his eighth record since his debut in 1996.
Although originally from Iowa, Bern tours heavily throughout the country. He last visited Eugene for a show at Sam Bond’s Garage in April 2002
Bern will appear at Café Paradiso, located at 115 W. Broadway. The show begins at 8 p.m. and tickets are $11.50 in advance and $13 at the door.
