Dan Blakeslee

He is back! With a suitcase of songs, Maine folk troubadour Dan Blakeslee ventured into the smoke-laden subways of Boston in 1995 to practice his craft. His songs of true-life adventures combine the essence of early folk music with a dose of country grit. He has toured the U.S. and abroad performing with Josh Ritter, Sean Rowe, David Wax Museum, Lydia Loveless, The Lumineers, Old 97's, The Black Lillies, Liam Finn and Kimya Dawson among others. In 2015, his dream of playing Newport Folk Festival became a reality, the location where Bob Dylan went electric 50 years earlier. Dan Blakeslee delivers his songs with that same heart of a young, lyric-scribbling troubadour, who knows because he’s tried it, can out-sing a passing train. "Not since Dick Curless left Fort Fairfield, Maine for Nashville and beyond has the Pine Tree State produced a native son with the same potential for success in country music until now." - Stacy's Music Row Report https://danblakeslee.com/
