Dan Stevens Blues Guitarist February 16, 2008

Dan Stevens: "History of the Blues: Concert and Talk" Natioanlly recognized Blues musician, Dan Stevens, began his love affair with guitars at the age of 16. Stevens has studied with Paul Rishell, winner of the W.C. Handy Award and he was blessed to study with Greenwich Village icon Dave Van Ronk. Another major influence in Dan's life were his years riding the rails, with guitar in hand, when he crisscrossed the United States five times. An irrepressible guitar collector, Dan surrounds himself with vintage and custom instruments acquired in his many travels. Any given performance may find him choosing to play a 1950’s Sears Silvertone, a 1931 National Steel, or a retro lime green Resophonic.
