CMJ Crush: Dan Croll @ Mercury Lounge

1385295_548115635265662_288239042_nReview: Dan Croll @ Mercury Lounge (10/17)

Dan Croll’s name has been tossed around the CMJ bustle for the last few weeks and last night I popped into the Mercury Lounge to get in on the hype. Let me assure you; hype it is not. The charming singer-songwriter is unassuming on stage but the second he opens his mouth to even utter a “hello,” the audience was enchanted and willfully tuned in, and the set list did not disappoint. Given only a handful of songs to make an impression, Croll and his band channeled Iron and Wine, Postal Service and a little bit of Paul Simon with both edge and panache. He’ll be back in the States after Christmas to promote his new album, and he’s got one more fan in me.
