"Peter Cooper looks at the world with an artist's eye and a human heart and soul.

Dan Navarro is better known as one half of the acoustic duo Lowen & Navarro, who, for the past 20 years, have barnstormed the country on the heels of their 11 albums. L&N still continues to record and tour, though on a diminished schedule since Eric's 2004 diagnosis with ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's Disease. So, for the past three years Dan has been stepping out on his own and playing greater and greater numbers of solo shows all over the country.
The distinguishing marks are the same for Dan solo as they have been with Eric Lowen all these years -- songs of insight and experience, delivered straight up with honesty, passion and grace. His songs (written with Eric Lowen, with other collaborators and on his own) have been recorded by artists as diverse as Pat Benatar (the Top Five smash "We Belong"), The Bangles, Dionne Warwick, Dave Edmunds, and many more.
In addition to his activity as an artist, Dan also lends his voice to movies, TV shows and commercials, both in English and in Spanish. Some of his better credits have included Happy Feet, Ice Age 2, Prison Break, Family Guy, American Dad and commercials for McDonald's, Ford, Nationwide Insurance, Nissan, Shakey's and countless others.
