Roots Music Stomp – Ramblin’ Dan Stevens

Join us for the April edition of Roots Music Stomp – hosted by Craig Edwards and this month featuring traditional fingerstyle bluesman Ramblin’ Dan Stevens.

Ramblin’ Dan Stevens performs a mix of traditional fingerstyle blues, americana and originals, and has entertained audiences throughout the United States, Germany, UK, Canada and US Virgin Islands. His unique style of “bottleneck” slide playing, popularized by early Mississippi Delta bluesmen, includes use of a homemade, three stringed “Cigar Box Guitar” and one stringed “Diddly Bow”, both primitive blues instruments. A finalist in the International Blues Challenge on Beale St. in Memphis, TN and protégé of the legendary folk and blues icon Dave Van Ronk, Dan has been lauded as a raconteur and for the authenticity of his approach.
