Clawhammer Banjo, Appalachian Fiddle, & Stories of the Road

Dan Levenson is a modern day troubadour in the truest sense of the word. A full time musician, Dan travels the country with banjo and fiddle singing songs and telling stories of the road, his musical journey and his Southern Appalachian roots.

Dan is native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He and his wife The Lovely Miss Jennifer now make their home in Yuma, Arizona.

Take some time to explore the site. Check out Dan's instructional material (books and DVDs), and listen to some clips from his CDs.

Performer

His stage show, An Evening with Dan Levenson, combines old time fiddle, Appalachian banjo, stories and song in a storytelling format to tell the story of life in rural Appalachia and life on the roads of America via the music of our country.

And his band, The Boiled Buzzards, will have you dancing your feet off.

Teacher

Dan combines superb musicianship with the ability to teach what he knows in a way folks can understand and apply to their own playing.

Dan's workshops get rave reviews, and many students come back for more.
