He is presently recording his next solo studio album (and 18th album overall) with Grammy-winning producer Jim Scott, slated for release in early 2022.

Dan Navarros music probes life at its most resonant. In his rich baritone, he sings songs of heart and insight, steeped in experience, soulful tales from a long road well-traveled.
Hes the proud father of a 25-year old filmmaker son, thinks music is food, art is love, sleep is for babies and is a known abuser of acoustic guitars.
