When Dan Walsh first picked up the banjo, he did so with the passion and enthusiasm of a youngster who simply thought it sounded cool. His career since has been characterised by this infectious excitement: he explores the full breadth of what folk music can do and be – and encourages his audiences to have fun while doing it. Whether as a solo artist, key member of the acclaimed Urban Folk Quartet, or in-demand session musician for the likes of Darius Rucker and Ward Thomas, Dan wows audiences with a performance style equal parts blisteringly kinetic and accessibly conversational.

This ever-burgeoning reputation has seen him tour the world, from Canada and the USA to Australia, New Zealand and across Europe, everywhere winning new fans for this rare mix of virtuosic musicianship, moving and amusing songwriting, and winning charm. With his upcoming new album, “At The Station”, Dan has returned to one of his first loves, American country music – and made his most joyous, surprising and above all entertaining music yet.
