notes

Veteran blues man Dan Treanor has been entertaining and thrilling audiences for over thirty five years. Dan has played his unique style of blues all over the world. At times in his career Dan has played with Son Seals, Louisiana Red, George Boogie Daniels, Ronnie Boy Fruge', Jimmy Carl Black, Frankie Lee and the list goes on and on. Originally from the Southern Colorado town of Pueblo, Dan started playing the blues as a teenager and has been at it ever since. In 1969, while pulling a tour in the infantry in Viet Nam, Dan started playing the harmonica and has been blowing it like crazy ever since. Today Dan is considered one of the top blues harp players in the business and has been a Hohner Harmonica endorsee for the last ten years. Dan also plays guitar, dobro, banjo, bass, keyboards and cane flute.

Ten years ago Dan started the Blues In The Schools program for the Colorado Blues Society. He has presented his unique program to over twenty five thousand kids. A few years back Dan started to hand build African string instruments. Originally these instruments were to be used in the Blues In The Schools presentations but they quickly made their way in to Dan's live blues show. A new and exciting style of blues began to emerge and blossom into the music Dan makes today. Afro beats, African string instruments, Delta Blues grooves, lots of harp and guitar and soulful vocals.

If LoFi, soulful rhythms and gutbucket blues are your thing than Dan Treanor, Blues Ambassador, is here to serve you up a smoking' plate of the real deal.
