Dan’s journey in music started with folk guitar lessons at the tender age of 12. His first G-run was at summer camp, where a buddy introduced him to - what else? - “Rolling in My Sweet Baby’s Arms.” His first fiddle tune was, you guessed it, “Salt Creek,” copped from one of his parents’ Doc Watson albums. Fast forward several decades, and his first bluegrass jams were in and around NYC in 2016. A fascination with the bluegrass ensemble quickly took hold, and with it, the need to play and sing these songs. Things he’d always gravitated towards - cross picking, singing tenor - had suddenly landed in their natural habitat. So now, as Dan would say, there’s no turning back. (Well, actually what Dan would say is, “I don’t need no stinkin’ pickups!”)
