Dan Navarro's long and eclectic resume includes songwriter, recording artist, singer, voice actor, producer, road warrior, and arts advocate in its extensive range of credits.
His former acoustic duo, Lowen & Navarro, released 13 albums from 1990-2008, enjoyed widespread Triple A radio airplay, and performed 1500 shows before Eric Lowen’s retirement in 2008 and passing from ALS in 2012. Dan set out solo in 2006 and continues to tour nationally every month of the year.
His newest release is a duet single with 7-time Blues Foundation award winner Janiva Magness in a stirring version of Tom Prasada-Rao's classic “$20 Bill (for George Floyd),” released August 23, 2024 to all major streaming and download services. The song won Folk Alliance International's “Song of the Year” in 2025.
In March 2024, he debuted as a co-producer (with Grammy®-winner Jim Scott) on Jesse Lynn Madera's acclaimed album, “Speed of Sound,” including the touching co-written duet “Last Call,” now making waves at Americana, Folk and Non-Com Triple A radio. The album cracked the FAI Folk Chart March 5, 2024 at #32. Work has already begun on her follow-up, with Dan and Jim again at the helm of her new single, “Make It Out.”
As a songwriter, Dan has written or co-written heartfelt songs for Pat Benatar (the Grammy® nominated “We Belong”), The Bangles, Japanese girl group Wink (the #1 hit “One Night in Heaven”), Dutch superstar Marco Borsato (the Top Ten “Je Hoeft Niet Naar Huis Vannacht”), Dave Edmunds, The Temptations, Dionne Warwick, and Austin outlaw country legend Rusty Weir.
His songs have appeared in the films Deadpool 2, Pitch Perfect 2, and Talladega Nights, TV series This Is Us, Mare of Easttown, Halt and Catch Fire, American Idol, The Voice, American Dad, and The Office, and national commercials for Corona Beer, Sargento Cheese, Pepsi, Sheraton Hotels, Chase Bank and the United Way.
