Nashville, TN (November 13, 2020)- Singer/songwriter and co-founder of Elephant Revival, Dango Rose, recently released his new single “Life’s too Short.”
With relatable lyrics like I’ve been working, I’ve been running, I’ve been riding sky high, I’ve been rolling, I’ve been reeling, I’ve been watching days go by, “Life’s Too Short” delivers the poignant message many of us need to hear – slow down and enjoy every moment.
“I get so caught up these days in the doing and all too often forget about the necessity of being,” Dango explains. “In celebration of this struggle, this song is a reminder to take the time to remember and rejoice in the more important aspects of life – such as, spending time with our loved ones and forging a path in accordance to the light.”
About Dango Rose:
Dango Rose embraces a passion for music as a vital healing influence and spiritual path. He creates and collaborates to support harmony and truth. Born with a poet’s soul and a warrior’s heart his life’s journey has been one of transformation.

In 2006, he co-founded Elephant Revival and spent eleven years performing and recording with this influential outfit that pioneered the genre, Transcendental Folk. Rose penned band favorites like,When I Fall, The Pasture, Jet Lag Blues and others.

His voice is distinctive, words penetrating and his arrangements— on the edge, yet engaging.”
