Dane Hinkle - More of Dane Hinkle's Music at www.reverbnation.com/danehinkle
• Raised in Greene County, east Tennessee mostly working on the family farm putting up hay, plowing corn rows with Kate the mule, gathering fresh hen's eggs and enjoying endless discoveries that 100 acres of fields, woods, and a creek called Little Chucky offered a child.
• Fourth grade music teacher plays Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant song to the class. I was hooked on folk style music from that point on.
• Earned an AS in Public Safety from Walters State Community College in Morristown, Tennessee, and a BS in Business From Tusculum College in Greene County, Tennessee.
• Worked as a Hotshot, then for the Alaska Smokejumpers, parachuting into hard to reach/rugged areas to fight fire and paracargo, the Forest Service and also armed security for Uncle Sam...
• Some of my interests include hiking, canoing, caving, organic gardening, raising gourmet Shiitake mushrooms and ginseng, carving netsukes (small Japanese style carvings) from stone, oil painting, and writing and performing music.
I'm recording my latest music in my log cabin, which is located near Sheffy Hollow, in the woods, on a backroad, in Greene County, "East Tennessee." I write all of the music and lyrics for my recordings.
As an artist once stated, “I never want to get completely comfortable with music by settling for what’s already been created, because that’s when you begin to lose touch with today and tomorrow.”
"No one can re-invent himself without first changing his own mind."
