Artist Biography

Daniel Ahearn's timeless fragile songs are "road music for a new breed of pioneers" (Sound Collector). The lead track for Ahearn's upcoming album, "I Will Let You Go" was featured in Ivan Reitman's new film, No Strings Attached and on the soundtrack. The track features harmony vocals by Angela Correa of Les Shelleys.  "I Will Let You Go" will be on the upcoming full length release,  Long Way Home, due out early 2011.

Ahearn collaborated with Pulitzer Prize winning poet Franz Wright and producer Michael Rozon (Brazzaville, Melvins) for music and a sonic landscape to accompany Wright's readings of his powerful 2009 book of poems, Wheeling Motel for the recording, Readings from Wheeling Motel.

Pray For Me By Name was Ahearn's first release under his own name. He has recorded in Brooklyn with Burakumin and in Brooklyn and LA with Ill Lit. Ill Lit's 2007 album, Tom Cruise, produced by Michael Rozon charted at KEXP. The track "Los Angeles" was featured in the winter 2008 season of ABC network's "Men In Trees." Ill Lit's earlier releases on Badman, i need you and WACMusic tapped into an edgy, dark layer of earth just beneath the freeways of an urban beat-driven Los Angeles.
