  • Bio

    As one of the few musicians in the world actively composing and performing on the rare harp guitar, Dan LaVoie brings a unique sound and texture to fans of acoustic music..... After playing the six-string guitar for several years, Dan picked up the harp guitar in 2001 and has since composed solely for this instrument. Bridge Guitar Reviews said Dan's self-titled 2003 debut album contained "... a soulful atmosphere and a skilled and progressive approach to music. The music Dan produces has deep basses and well-executed melody lines." Bob Makin of Relic's Magazine writes "Dan's soaring execution will drop the jaws of unsuspecting acoustic music fans and impress those familiar with this young man's chops!" Reminiscent of the work of Michael Hedges and Richie Havens, Dan's music is sophisticated and compelling, and his live performances are a special experience visually and aurally..... Dan tours over 100 dates a year extensively throughout the U.S., as well as internationally, with stops in England, Czech Republic, Austria, British Columbia, and Portugal. He is also an annual performer at the Harp Guitar Gathering, a concert series featuring the world's finest harp guitarists. Dan has opened for and shared the stage with Vance Gilbert, Steve Forbert, Brooks Williams, Peppino D'Agostino, The Dave Brubek Quartet, Andy Mckee, Bill Miller, Muriel Anderson, Stephen Bennett, Vinx, Cliff Eberhardt, Dickey Betts, Levon Helm and many more. Dan is endorsed by Dean Markley Strings, Sunrise Pickups, and K&K Pickups..... In 2010, Dan released his highly anticipated second CD entitled "Cause and Effect" featuring duets with Andy Mckee (music for a found harmonium) and Michael Manring (cause & effect) as well as several new songs including "Pegasus" featuring a 1910 Larson Bro. parlor guitar. The song "Long Distance Call" was previously featured on the 2009 compilation album "Harp Guitar Dreams" and also "Nostalgic Memories: Acoustic Breath VI", released in Japan, to much critical acclaim. .... ..View Dan LaVoie's EPK..
