I’d Love to be considered to play your Private Showcase at this year’s Folk Alliance International Conference!!
A little bit about me:
I’m an Americana/Folk/Singer-Songwriter (and an ex-Park Ranger), and I live just outside of Portland, OR in Vancouver, WA. I’ve been traveling around the country playing festivals & shows and in 2014 I Won 2nd place in the Woody Guthrie Songwriting Contest and became a rare 2-time finalist in the legendary Kerrville ‘New Folk’ Competition. Previously I was a finalist in the prestigious Dave Carter Songwriting Competition and have won several other national and regional honors.
In early 2015, I’ll be releasing my latest CD ‘What I’m Lookin’ For’ which features a stirring, classic Folk tribute ‘Oh Woody’, and an everyman’s anthem: ‘(I Deal with) Crazy ALL Day’, that has rapidly become a crowd sing-a-long favorite. My energetic performances and hilarious stories in-between the songs has been winning over audiences nationwide and none other than legendary Folk troubadour Ramblin’ Jack Elliott said “I love Dan’s songs and he tells really good stories.”
My songs have been described as ‘Timeless’ and ‘Authentic’ and my debut CD ‘Ash and Bone’ received accolades from American Songwriter Magazine and the UK’s Maverick Magazine said: “4 Stars: The touch of a true Master Craftsman songwriter” as well as recognition from DJ’s: “’Hank and Jesus’ is easily the best Folk song I heard last year” and Victory Review magazine wrote “Weber's writing is as strong as any in the Contemporary Folk community.
What Some Nice Folks Have Said:
“The first time we saw Dan Weber perform, I turned to my husband after just two songs and said, "Oh, yeah, this guy's got it!" What is "it" exactly? Impossible to define but you know it when you see it.”
- Joanne Smiddie-Brush, Flying Cat House Concerts
"Dan is one of those rare performers that make you feel like you are the person in the audience he is telling the story to. Come back soon!" - Suzan Lundy, McLundy’s Green Room
“A tapestry of songs that could have been written by Hayes Carll or Guy Clark; In short, it’s fantastic!"
- Ernie Hopseker, Ocean Beach Radio
"Dan Weber's concert was amazing—and the audience wanted more! His music is original, emotional, and his intimate connection with the audience was undeniable. We give Dan Weber our highest recommendation! (And we're rather picky)."
- Andy Granitto, Happy Hen Barn Concerts
"Don't be deceived by the white-straw-cowboy-brim halo, Dan Weber is the real deal, a true-to-form talent."
- Nancy Emrich Freeman, Promotor: LilFest
“Dan Weber sings short stories with the exuberance of Kerouac; the economy of Hemingway; and the melodic elegance of Hank Williams.”
- Tim Connor, Songwriter
"Amazingly new to the music trip, but Dan's stories and melodies sound like they were carved back there, somewhere.”
- Inessa Anderson, DJ, KINK 101.9 FM
“A tremendous show; Top rate performance: soulful, sad, funny and everything in between. One of the friendliest guys you’ll ever meet too.”
- Matt Hough, Lair of the Swamp Fox House Concerts
“I have to tell you that I've been to over a hundred house concerts in the last 5 years and yours tonight was the most energizing of any and SO MUCH FUN!!! Thanks for sharing your energy, personal stories, and inner spirit.”
- Cindy Harvey, House Concert Attendee
What I’d really like you to know is that I’m an Entertainer and a Storyteller. Audiences laugh and sing along! After shows, they often tell me how much they loved my passion, joy and energy and they usually tell me they especially liked my stories in-between the songs, and often that a particular song I played felt like it was written about them. That’s the highest compliment I get—making that Authentic Connection with the audience—and THAT’S what makes my shows Special!
Thanks for considering me!
All the Best!
