San Rocco

**San Rocco** is the indie folk brainchild of New York-based musician Daniel Radin, blending poetic lyricism with warm, textured arrangements that feel both intimate and expansive. Active since the early 2010s, Radin’s project has evolved into a quietly celebrated staple of the DIY folk scene, known for its hushed vocals, literary references, and knack for turning existential musings into comforting melodies. Recent releases like *People Verses* and *The End Is Never The End* showcase his signature balance of melancholy and hope, often pairing fingerpicked guitars with subtle orchestral flourishes.

Live performances, such as the haunting *Final Girls (Live at Displace)*, highlight San Rocco’s knack for creating a shared, reflective atmosphere. Radin frequently collaborates with fellow indie artists (like violinist Hannah Read) but maintains a DIY ethos, with lyrics that linger on themes of impermanence, connection, and small acts of resistance. Whether through sparse ballads (*Bind My Hands*) or driving folk-rock (*Run Doom*), San Rocco’s music feels like a late-night conversation with an old friend—quietly profound and full of hard-won warmth.
