March 8, 2022Dan is a wonderfully talented musician, with an engaging yet subtle presence – exactly what we were looking for to add the extra ‘wow’ factor to my grandmother’s 95th birthday party. His music made the ambiance festive and put everyone in a great mood. He even went out of his way to learn and perform one of my grandma’s favorite songs that she used to dance to with my granddad, which brought tears (of joy!) to her eyes. Dan’s harp-guitar and steel-guitar playing skills were equally beautiful and impressive -- HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

September 8, 2020Dan was, simply, perfect! Dan is a phenomenal guitarist and singer. His style complimented our outdoors, on a lake wedding perfectly. He was easy to work with and helped guide us in the process of choosing songs. He was even open to learning some songs we requested. It was an incredible night that was sealed with What a Wonderful World! Dan went above and beyond and I would absolutely, highly recommend him!

Dan has written and released ten CDs and has been featured on several internationally released acoustic guitar compilations including Narada Records “Masters of Acoustic Guitar”. His recordings have earned him a nomination for guitarists of the year (Minnesota Music Academy) and Folk/Roots album of the year (Mpls. St Paul Magazine).
