Banjer Dan - Live at The Bighorn

Description

BanjerDan (Dan Mazer) - New Jersey born, DC raised, and a current resident of Santa Cruz County California - is on tour and making a one night stop in Anaconda to share his addictive tunes with us. BanjerDan is a “banjo-centric” acoustic musician. His music is an Americana mix, rooted in straight-ahead bluegrass and branching out to include folk, country, blues, oldies, and other styles.

 

​He started playing Scruggs-style banjo as a teenager in 1974. He learned his craft during the DC area’s heyday as “the Bluegrass Capital of the World,” and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Music Theory from George Washington University. He was heavily influenced by Earl Scruggs, Eddie and Martha Adcock, the Country Gentlemen, and in particular the Seldom Scene.

 

Dan’s primary instrument is the 5-string banjo, but he also plays guitar, mandolin, and dobro. His "superpicker" skills have enabled him to book performances all over the U.S. and world as a solo artist, in theatrical productions and symphony orchestras, and as a member of several bands, most notably “J.B. Beverley & The Wayward Drifters.” He has performed in venues ranging from street corner busking to bar/coffeehouse gigs, children's shows, private parties and corporate events. Some of the more notable venues include Opryland, USA, the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, the High Sierra Music Festival, the National Cherry Blossom Festival, and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in DC.  

 

Quite simply, we hit the home-run when he reached out and asked if he could perform in our intimate venue for one evening. We could not be more excited!!!

Join us Saturday, July 27 from 5pm - 8pm. 

Enjoy some small bites, quality beverages, and BanjerDan!
