Why make music? I mean what’s the point?

To give a voice and a tangible manifestation to a certain feeling, a memory, a path not taken; to catalyze change and build community. Is there a point to it? Is there a point to anything? If a song inspires someone to do something or to feel better and move on, then it has fulfilled its purpose.

Poetic, descriptive, and inspired by the meaningful lyrics of artists such as Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, and Bob Dylan, Rubinstein’s music fuses folk, jazz and rock. He has performed on televised competitions at West Coast Songwriters, and at Song School’s opening night at the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival.

INTERVIEW | TALKING WITH FOLK-ROCK ARTIST Y. DAN RUBINSTEIN

San Francisco singer-songwriter Y. Dan Rubinstein will release his latest single, “Stolen Moments,” on August 30. “Stolen Moments,” a song about first loves, is the title track to Rubinstein’s forthcoming album, slated for release in 2020.
