Here in the
Pacific Northwest we’re a long way from Southern Appalachia, but over the next
ten days you can experience some of that region’s
musical heritage presented by an amazingly talented musician who truly knows what it’s all about. Dan
Levenson, a master of Old Time fiddle and clawhammer banjo styles will be in Vancouver, Washington, Sept. 27-28 and in Seattle Oct. 3-6
(See more below.) For a sample of true Old Time clawhammer style, listen to him play an old tune called "Forked Deer" on an 1865 banjo by clicking here.
Or maybe you'd prefer fiddle.

Dan Levenson is a
favorite among fans of this music, voted one of the top ten clawhammer banjo
players in the country by readers of Banjo Newsletter Magazine. It’s no wonder.
His extraordinary musicianship, knowledge of authentic Old Time styles, and ability to teach others keep him
in demand around the country and even beyond its borders. That’s why you won’t
want to miss hearing him play during this visit our corner of America.
Dan will be conducting workshops and private lessons for players of both banjo and fiddle as well as presenting his popular concert program called “An Evening With Dan Levenson,” a great show for anyone to enjoy, musician or not. It includes fiddle, banjo, guitar, songs, stories, and even dance.
If you can't make it to a concert or workshop, you can order his recordings and instructional materials on the "Products" page of his website.
