He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, writer/manager Sheri Anderson Thomas, and a bunch of Scottish Fold cats.

DAN DUBELMAN grew up on a movie set. At 5 years old, Dan won a Golden Lion at the Cannes Film Festival for his role in the "Sharing" commercial for Cracker Jacks. He began playing music as a teenager and by the time he got to Cornell he was playing more than he was studying (but still managed to make the Dean's List). Dan applied to get into Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, Alison Lurie's elite class for fiction. Accepted, he began to write "American Trash," a novella. This piece earned him a scholarship and fellowship to Johns Hopkins’ world-famous fiction program under John Barth. He currently resides in Nashville and tours with his band Betty Dylan.
