Dana has been described as a “quintessential folk musician” by Connie Bowbliss of WKNH, Keene, NH. Dick Pleasants of WUMB, Boston, MA says of Dana, “I am struck by how her writes songs that sound deeply rooted in tradition. His phrasing and poetry are wonderful.” An accomplished guitar player, Dana is described by Music Matters Review as possessing “*a poet’s perspective delivered in quietly spectacular musicianship*the music sounds laid back even while his guitar licks are knocking your socks off.” The public is cordially invited to this free performance.
