About Dan Fogelberg
Dan Fogelberg grew up in a musical family in Peoria, Illinois, with a father who worked as a musician, teacher and bandleader. Piano preceded guitar in his development, and hearing the Beatles sharpened his interest in songwriting. His recordings built a recognizable approach around acoustic instruments, layered vocal harmonies and melodic storytelling. Souvenirs, Captured Angel and The Innocent Age became central parts of that catalog, while Full Circle revisited the musical territory of his earlier work.
