Dan Aston

Bio:

I started learning classical guitar aged 10 and bought my first electric aged 14. After witnessing the awesomeness of Deep Purple guitarists Ritchie Blackmore and Steve Morse, I learnt to play Smoke on the Water (just like everyone else) and the guitar became my instrument. Later on I discovered Pink Floyd and my world changed, I dedicated my time learning David Gilmour's solos and from there a whole new door was opened and I began to explore the progressive world where I found artists such as Death and Dream Theater. I have a wide range of musical taste, everything from Whitesnake to Opeth through to Nick Drake and Return to Forever, has allowed my influences to shape my own musical voice.
