Why hire Dan Keller?
I am a professional jazz guitarist, adaptable for any occasion. I draw from a vast repertoire of jazz and pop standards to satisfy casual listeners and aficianados alike. Styles include eloquent ballads, up-tempo swing tunes, soulful blues selections, and smooth latin and pop arrangements. For the past year and a half, I have performed weekly at Cedric's restaurant on the Biltmore Estate. I can provide enthusiastic references from special events, private parties, and weddings. My goal, foremost, is to make each event enjoyable and memorable, and to fulfill any and all requests. Thank you for your time.
About
As a teenager, I began studying composition, theory, and improvisation privately and in school music programs. In High School, i began studying with UNCA (University of North Carolina at Asheville) professor Marc Yaxley. After a year of private lessons, I began performing with Yaxley as his rhythm guitarist. I credit the most beneficial aspect of my education to be the countless “on the job” experiences I gained while working initially with Yaxley and later top-notch musicians throughout the U.S. including Bill Berg (drummer on Bob Dylan's album "Blood on Tracks"), Bradford Gee (Church Organist and Choir Director for St. James Episcopal in Hendersonville, NC), and many others.
Influences
Joe Pass, Jim Hall, Chalie Byrd, Marc Yaxley, Django Reihnhart, Les Paul, the Beatles, Bill Evans, Andres Segovia, Keith Jarret, Miles Davis, and so many others.
