About Don’t you know there ain’t no devil, it’s just God when he’s drunk. – Tom Waits My name is Dan Steven Erickson and I’m a creator. I write songs, compose music, write poetry, and books. I love to share what I do and inspire others to become creators, too. I’m also looking for people who might be interested in using my work to reach mass audiences. I’m currently living in the Nashville region and working as an academic advisor at Volunteer State Community College. I have two daughters, Annie and Angel. I’m a few years away from retirement and hope to do more photography as I have more time. Highlights: Nearly 1500 songs written. Wrote the book A Train Called Forgiveness about my abusive childhood experience in an extremist cult. Hours of experimental electronic music composed as Anderhill. Hundreds of poems written. Several books published. If you’re interested in using my songs, stories, or music for commercial purposes, please contact me at the email address below.
