Dan Bliss

"In the world of contemporary fingerpicking oriented blues players, Dan Bliss is a standout. ...a diverse and entertaining repertoire that includes country blues influenced originals, complex rags and swinging jazzy interpretations from the Great American Songbook.... On top of all this he is a tasteful songwriter with a sensitive down home lyrical approach."
