Dan Bockrath's Profile

Dan Bockrath

I am the co-founder and former publisher of CityBeat. My passion for music, especially artists out of the mainstream, was a huge influence on my decision to enter the alternative weekly industry. In college, while others were listening to disco and top 40, I embraced bands like The Clash, Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., The Ramones, etc. I enjoy the thrill of the treasure hunt when it comes to discovering new music. My favs so far this year - Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Charly Bliss and most recently Sego.
