The Robin Hood

Friday night The Transatlantic Bluegrass band performed to a packed house at The Robin Hood
pub in Montpellier.  A great time was had by all and many notes were put out into the universe.  With Simon Guy playing guitar, Jonathan Sarrabia playing a mean bass, Andy Lawson on Mando, Dan Monte Calvo on Banjo and one of the most amazing singers I have had the pleasure to play and sing with, Cristal Sutherland on vocals.

Thank you all for showing up and supporting The Robin Hood Pub, The Transatlantic Bluegrass Band and Bluegrass in France.  Hope to see you this Wednesday at O'livers pub in Montpellier for an other round of live bluegrass with The Apple Trees!

A week in the country

Hi everyone,

I just spent the most beautiful last 5 days in the countryside of the South of France, staying with my friends Andy and Camilla, the most gracious hosts you could ever dream of.  Living in a beautiful converted barn in the peaceful village of Peret, their home overlooks the expansive rolling hills and wine vineyards of the South.  Our days were spent hiking the countryside, playing music and preparing and eating amazing food along with afternoon siestas!  A true piece of heaven on earth!  Thank you my friends.
It was so nice having some peace and quiet and a breath of fresh air away from the busy heart Montpellier

Here's a song I wrote, Just posted on youtube

Bonjour Tout Le Monde

As you know, I have been hanging out in Montpellier France since January 6, 2014.  It has been an amazing adventure: playing music with The Transatlantic Bluegrass Band, a radio show about
"The Dan Project", busking in the heart of Montpellier center and this Wednesday I'm playing a gig with the band, Apple Trees, in a local pub. Join us, The Transatlantic Bluegrass Band, January 31st as we tear it up at the Robin Hood Bar.

February 6, 2014 I will leave this wonderful city and venture to Rome and beyond.  If all goes as planned, I will be traveling with my friend Nicky to Spain where I hope learn the magic of Salsa dancing and play more soulful bluegrass.

I do hope you have enjoyed the youtube posts and pictures of old and new friends.  We are waiting for a cable to arrive so we can download video footage and post part of the documentary for your viewing.

Thank you for your patience and I hope you like following my adventure!

A day in Montpellier

Out all day today trying record more tunes from cool places.  Some days it seems like everythig is against me.  To much noise, crazy people on mopeds, trams going by and lets not forget the rain.  Had a few good takes but not good enough to post.
