Singer-songwriter Dan Bern has been charming audiences for decades with his irrepressible wit, but listeners may know him best from work on the big screen. Bern wrote the songs for Judd Apatow’s hit comedies Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Get Him to the Greek, which in turn led to writing the theme song to Amazon’s animated Dirty and Stinky series.
