Berlin‘s booking guru Ran Huber (amStart) praises D. COOPER as East Frisia‘s own Neil Young. East Frisia (Ostfriesland in German) is a region in Northwest Germany that is usually the butt of all jokes. D. COOPER is well connected to his origins, having started his artistic career as a teenage movie star in the East Frisian samurai movie „Frankie Johnny And The Others.“ Over the course of the last years, D. COOPER has been performing his laconic, minimalist, precise, and strikingly powerful songs in the tradition of American alternative country music. His countless albums and EPs are available on Kruidenrecords; at this equally countless gigs in Berlin he shared the stage with the likes of Justine Electra, SchneiderTM and Erlend Øye.
