Dan Blakeslee

With a suitcase of songs, Maine folk troubadour Dan Blakeslee ventured into the subways of Boston in 1995 to practice his craft. He has been making music and art throughout New England ever since, leading him to tour the U.S. performing with The Low Anthem, David Wax Museum, Liam Finn, Brown Bird, Will Dailey, Death Vessel and Kimya Dawson. Dan is unafraid to bare his very soul on stage, emptying a loaded cache of emotion and passion onto the stage for all to witness, explore and devour. "There is a feeling of antiquity to the songs, which are written in a poetic language that could have been taken from Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" (Boston Globe). ~~~~~~~~~
Blakeslee has five albums under his belt including "Tatnic Tales" released May 10, 2011 (Peapod Recordings) which features his band The Calabash Club. He currently lives in Somerville, MA among picture frames and instruments. Explore the world of Dan Blakeslee here: www.danblakeslee.com ~~~~~~~~
