About Dain Norman
Singer-songwriter
Dain
Norman is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and audio producer.
Norman is not really from anywhere; he moved his entire childhood from state to
state, city to city. He considers himself most from both Florida and Georgia,
US. Since middle school, Norman has been performing in bands, self-releasing
his first solo album, performing every instrument and producing,
"Michael" in 2008, in tribute to his late step-father. Norman began
to steadily move around the SE US performing, in a vagabond fashion and
self-releasing demo quality singles between 2009-2013. Norman relocated to the
PNW in late 2013 to pursue his dream of a music career. Making the trip across
the country into a DIY tour, playing at open mics, blues jams, street corners,
and little beatnik coffee shops, arriving in the PNW with only $15, living in
his car and street performing to get by. The Chrysalis Effect project band was
formed in 2015, in Tacoma, WA. The project has since toured throughout WA
state, and OR. Releasing the self-produced "HelloJudeProductions" EP
in 2016, named after Norman's first child born, "Jude" in 2015, also
"6 AM Hangups" single early 2018, about losing yourself to a job you
hate to provide, and the full length "Lantern" in late 2019, a
concept album in tribute to Norman's fiance' Aili, about letting Love be your
Lantern, to guide you through the darkness of life sometimes. The project put
out an EP titled "Back Down To Earth", June 2021 through Aldora
Britain Records, also a concept record about getting back in touch with your
roots, relaxing, and de-stressing so that we have a more clear vision of the
reality of the world and life as we know it. The first single "Fellow
Man" from the EP received airplay on 14 + radio programs throughout
Europe, Australia, and America. Norman is also planning the TCE project's
second full-length album, "Shades of Blue" for a Summer 2022 release,
with co-production done by legendary producer Jonathan Plum, who has worked
with acts such as Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Sound Garden, and currently
Brandi Carlile. The first single "Shades Of Blue/What You're Worth"
is now out on Aldora Britain Records. The record is a reflection of the psychology
of people at large internally in reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic, with themes
of 1960's peace and love in a single breath.
Lantern album review-
"The experience of listening to these
songs is not like being transported to another time, but like having
transmissions of lost songs from 1964 magically delivered to you, slightly
warped and modernized along their journey. The one constant is the presence of
John Lennon's touch in the music, from Norman's vocals down to the rugged and
raw instrumentation." - Alma Mater Tacoma
