Dan Reeder

Dan Reeder is a 70-year-old artist and musician who has spent the past three decades creating a unique blend of folk, art, and DIY innovation from his home in Nuremberg, Germany. Born in Louisiana and raised in California, Reeder’s work spans music, visual art, and homemade instruments—everything from steel-string guitars and banjos to PVC trombones.

Prior to a brief tour in 2024, Reeder hadn’t played on his home soil in fifteen years, preferring to create quietly from a distance—far from the spotlight but never truly unseen. He now performs alongside his daughter, Peggy Reeder, whose harmonies and the pair’s charming, humorous family banter are sure to captivate any audience.

With a sound that combines the similar warm, weathered voice of Ted Lucas with playful, quirky lyrics, Reeder is an outsider artist who marches to the beat of his own drum. He is Oh Boy Records' longest-signed artist after Prine himself, a relationship that began when Prine heard Reeder’s homemade demo and signed him to the label in the early 2000s.

Reeder’s music is self-produced and meticulously crafted, with every note, instrument, and recording detail borne from his hands. Reeder has stayed true to his unconventional path, creating art and music on his own terms, often in solitude. His songs—frequently a mix of dark humor and whimsical insight—carry a distinct charm. Still, twenty years after John Prine first admired his work, Reeder is still having fun.

Renny Conti Support

Renny Conti is a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from the San Francisco Bay Area. Renny’s 2025 self-titled album is rich with attentive lyrics about love, grief, and nature, coupled with tangly guitar melodies and rewarding dissonance that explores tension through its release. Renny approaches his music as a way to challenge convention by engaging his audience to do the same. The result is a collection of heartfelt songs that unravel differently with every listen. His new album has garnered press from Paste Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, and Fretboard Journal, hailing him as a singular new voice in contemporary indie music.
