Dan Livingstone

“An Audio feast of fine delta served with a twist of ragtime …. A darned good entertainer.”

“Playing at times with the ferocious spirit of Mississippi Fred McDowell and then, just as easily, with the honeyed tones of Mississippi John Hurt.”

“Passionné, intrigué par son jeu fingerstyle et slide agile et subtil, sa façon de rendre le blues traditionnel actuel et sensible, je me suis laissé toucher, émerveiller par la beauté de ses interprétations.”
[“Impassioned and intrigued by his nimble fingerstyle and understated slide guitar playing — his way of making traditional blues current and significant — I let myself be touched and filled with wonder by the beauty of his interpretations.”]

“An amazing guitarist…. What a treat!”

“Dan Livingstone is by far the most dedicated and true to form acoustic blues players I’ve met in years. His fingerpicking really shines on tunes by reverend Gary Davis, Mance Lipscomb and the like, and his live shows with local jazz players bring some exciting new direction to these older musical forms.”

“Finger style country blues picking is safe in Dan’s hands. … He’s a real fine player and he plays that stuff really well. Dan selects his music with taste and he plays with taste. I’m a real big fan of Dan’s.”

“We’d love to have Dan back… he fills the hall.”

“An exciting young guitar player … a talent to be noticed.”

“A real blues musician. He’s the real deal.”

L’ART DE LA GUITARE NORD-AMÉRICAINE. — Le «Pub Murrayfield» a accueilli Dan Livingstone, samedi soir. Ce Canadien de 29 ans a célébré la quinzième date de sa tournée européenne, à Bourges, en offrant auz Berruyers un concert exceptionnel. Ce prodige de la guitare s’est montré très sympathique et généreux face aux spectateurs émerveillés par tant de virtuosité. Dan Livingstone représente le blues des années 1920 à 1940, réuissant à mélanger texte, humour, musique et charme. Le regard du public semblait attiré par cette musique que seuls les Nord-Américains savent jouer.
