What Others Say About Dan Since moving to Colorado from Michigan in 1997, Dan has been a frequent concert performer for the renowned Black Rose Acoustic Society. He was featured in their Acoustic Spotlight article in November, 1998. "I am the workshop chairman for the Original Dulcimer Players Club summer music festival, the largest hammered dulcimer festival in the world. This event is attended by approximately 10,000 folks, most of whom are themselves musicians. Dan has instructed guitar workshops for the folks at [this festival] and has wowed the audiences with his talent and musicianship." Sharon Skaryd, Saginaw, Michigan "Dan is a dangerously accomplished guitarist. He scares a lot of us musicians, but mostly inspires and challenges us to delve deeper into the joy and beauty of the music. Dan really enjoys what he does - you can hear it." Phil Volan, Professional Musician, Colorado Springs. "Dan plays the guitar with finesse factors unmatched. He has the unique capability to bring out the zing in the strings and reach his audience through outstanding musicianship and personality attributes. Dan has the capability to persuasively affect his audience with vibrant sounds that often leave listeners with a sense of disbelief from the feelings they experience. Having performed with Dan on sever occasions as a duo, I can say I have never performed with a finer guitarist." Bob Armstrong, Armstrong Studios, Colorado Springs "Dan Kirchner's guitar is like a palette to a fine painter; he constantly creates new colors and uses them to wonderful effect. His incredible technique and musicianship, plus his almost-limitless stylistic capabilities, make him one of the finest jazz musicians - acoustic or otherwise - in Colorado." Charlie Hall, Former President, Black Rose Acoustic Society "Music from Dan Kirchner's guitar flows and ripples in tasteful artistry no matter what style of music he's playing. He has the rare ability to both master the technical aspects of his instrument and to touch the audience with the emotion of his music. Dan is a favorite at The Black Rose Acoustic Society, and is without a doubt one of the finest guitarists performing in Colorado." Hope Grietzer, Rocky Mountain Region Fiddler of the Year |
