Dan
Levenson
Dan Levenson is a modern
day troubadour in the truest sense of the word. A full time
musician, Dan travels the country with banjo, fiddle and
guitar singing songs and telling stories while clogging to
the rhythms of his Southern Appalachian roots. Dan is a
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native who now makes his home with
his wife Jennifer in Galia County in the Appalachian region
of Southern Ohio. Dan's parents were Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania natives as well and they raised him with the
music he has come to perform. His father, Fred, called
dances and his mother, Naomi, played piano, guitar, and sang
in several musical groups in the Pittsburgh area. They even
met at a square dance! He has been touring nationally some
16 years now. In that time he has become a well known artist
of the Appalachian style fiddle and old time clawhammer
banjo.
His stage show combines fiddle, banjo, guitar, dance and
song in a storytelling format to tell the story of life in
rural Appalachia and life on the roads of America via the
music of our country. He is an accomplished and dynamic
fiddler who has taught himself to fiddle and clog at the
same time--a real treat to see! Audience participation and
occasional guest performers figure strongly in his shows and
children won't let themselves be left out of the fun!
