Dan Graul (He/They) has long been driven by a desire to collaborate. He first found his spiritual artist, warrior-self singing in school choirs and small acapella groups. Dan’s passions moved him into theatre performance, as well as direction, production design and anything he could do to make a show. He built a life as a performer. He worked his way across the country through various tours and regional theatres, eventually landing in Los Angeles.
Dan and his wife Rebecca met teaching musical theatre together at YADA in West Hollywood. From there, a fruitful creative relationship was born as well as a deep, true love. Today the pair live in LA with their three cats and a whole host of musical instruments. They created psychedelic folk band Northern Strangers, who built their reputation by playing Pink Floyd albums live and synced up with video projections around LA and on tour.
Dan also plays in psych improv group YHWH with Lee Harcourt and Pagan rock storytelling Half Tongue Tribe with David Lebarron. Dan released his solo debut Make America Love Again, a collection of psychedelic folk songs promoting peace, love and self reflection.
Dan Is actively involved in the Los Angeles theatre community, serving as Sound Designer for theatrical productions and playing guitar for live musicals like Coeurage Ensemble’s critically acclaimed, inventive 360 degree production of RENT.
2026 holds new music on the horizon and maybe you can catch Dan playing live music around LA.
