Dan Orlando

With a musical identity shaped in the heart of New York, and nurtured in the suburbs of greater Philadelphia, Dan Orlando channels piano legends of the past with a pop-folk twist.
As an unofficial protege of Billy Joel, he cut his teeth with The Lords of 52nd street, Joel’s original recording and touring band for the past five years, providing unique insights into the life of a piano man. 

Orlando’s latest endeavor “Heritage Trail”, enlisted producer Ben Jackson and co-producer Steve Cook to cultivate a Nashville sound with northeast flair and a clear pop construct. Recorded largely at Jackson’s East End Studios in Nashville as well as Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove, NY, this folksy eight song collection with a pop sizzle lays bare the dreams of a struggling artist aiming to defy adversity by remaining true to their greater purpose.
