How the show evolved

On the rolla bolla

Indent spacerI got my start in 1974 with a show called the Royal Lichtenstein Quarter-Ring Sidewalk Circus. We hit the road and gave over 300 performances in 110 cities in 37 states during 32 of the most exciting weeks of my life.
Indent spacer By 1977 I was working on the road in my own show. In those days I appeared mostly at colleges during the school year and spent my summers doing street shows. The United States was my backdrop during those early years. I worked Boston to Key West, from Seattle to San Diego. From September to June I was out chasing dates in every region of the country. My 1967 Ford pick-up truck logged over five hundred thousand miles on its odometer. That works out to about three engine overhauls, four transmissions and two differentials.

Lacey Sings, Dana Plays

By 1980 I was working in San Francisco. The talent was not just deep, but it also consisted of top quality shows. The City by the Bay deserved the recognition it earned as the best city in the world for street performing. In 1992 I headed south to a rural life in Northern Arizona where I lived when I wasn't out touring. By 1995 I found myself residing in Oregon. In 1999 I put myself back on the road full time with a truck, trailer, new dog and full time touring. At the moment I have come full circle back to San Francisco where I now live with my wife on Telegraph Hill. In 2007 Lacey and I presented some 340 shows here and across the United States.
