He is a musical legend, a pioneer of one of the most intricate, yet
powerful, forms of American music, and a master of the guitar; he's Dan
Crary, a flatpicking stylist with an international reputation for innovation,
taste and brilliance. With over 40 years as a performer, Crary is one of
the few artists whose work can be said to transcend the boundaries of style
and genre.
As a solo artist, Dan has created a performance style that blends traditional material from a variety of American sources with original compositions, vocals with instrumental showcases, all woven together with stories and observations that share his experience and insights with the audience. His ability to connect both musically and personally has brought him success not only in North America but throughout the world, with concert and workshop appearances everywhere from Europe to Japan and the South Pacific.
In a time when yesterday's stars are all too often today's unknowns, and genres are picked up discarded quickly, it's a rare career that encompasses multiple styles and decades while remaining fresh and exciting. If consistency, creativity and longevity are hallmarks of artistic achievement, then Dan Crary must be recognized as one of the greatest traditional artists of our day.
