When George, Chase, Julie, and I went to see Joey Allcorn on Thursday night at SoHos, I think we were all delighted to hear how good the 2nd band was. I’ll save the review for Chase to do (if he decides to, I think he’s better at that than me). I just want to focus on one guy in the band, the banjo/dobro player. A man named Dan Mazer who calls himself BanjerDan. Not only was this guy a phenomenal banjo picker and great dobro player, he was also extremely nice and made a bee line straight for our table after their first set to thank us for coming out and supporting them. When I got home I decided to look him up on the Internet and he’s got a pretty impressive resume going back a couple of decades. Here’s a sample from his website of a song he recorded in 1985. You can read more about him and listen to more of his music on his website or his MySpace if you’d like. I can’t wait till they come back this way, I’m definitely excited about seeing those guys perform again and will be ordering their CD from CDBaby very soon.
