Quotes


Cool music.
Jim Ladd, Legendary Rock DJ, KLOS, KMET, Sirius XM


I love Dan’s songs and he tells really good stories.
Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Legendary Folk Troubadour

4 Stars: Has you hanging on to every word. That’s the touch of a true Master Craftsman Songwriter.
Alan Cackett, Maverick Magazine

A rare combination of wit, emotion and vivid, Harry Chapin-esque imagery.
Rick Foster, The Sun Chronicle

A master storyteller with a great sense of humor. His writing is precise, concise and poetic with influences of Robert Earl Keen and Guy Clark.
Craig Bernhardt, Beggar’s Banquet Concerts

Where his genius truly lies is in his ability to connect and uplift an audience. I've rarely seen a group of people so thoroughly enjoying and identifying with a performer
Denice Bruce, Badger Mountain Sessions

Dan Weber is the Classic Mid-Life Overnight Sensation.
Matt Miner, Matt Miner Presents

The first time we saw Dan Weber perform, I turned to my husband after just two songs and said, ‘Oh, yeah, this guy's got it.’ Impossible to define but you know it when you see it!
Joanne Smiddie-Brush, Flying Cat House Concerts

Dan Weber was the consummate professional---from initial booking and contact to putting on a great show. He was patient with me, knowing this was my first concert. All in all it was a great experience and we had a rousing good time.
Cindi Hooper, Noble House Inn

Don't be deceived by the cowboy hat, Dan Weber is the real deal!
Nancy Emrich Freeman, LilFest

Dan is a GREAT storyteller, one of the best! Insightful and awfully funny. He wowed our audience with his stories and songs and made a real and deep connection with every person in the room.
Catherine Wood, Concert at the Woods

Weber is living proof that you never know when a music career will bloom.
Tim Hirsch, Pacific City Sun

A tremendous show! Top rate performance: soulful, sad, funny and everything in between. I’d recommend Dan to anyone. One of the friendliest guys you’ll ever meet too!
Matt Hough, Lair of the Swamp Fox Concerts

Dan is one of those rare performers that make you feel like you are the person in the room he is telling the story to.
Suzan Lundy, McLundy’s Green Room

His music is original, emotional, and his intimate connection with the audience was undeniable. We give Dan Weber our highest recommendation! (And we're rather picky.)
Andy Granitto, Happy Hen Barn Concerts

Book a Special Event, House (or Barn!) or Backyard Concert:

I’ve been blessed to play shows in some amazing places: In the heart of the Grand Canyon. On a vintage railroad car with Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. At Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River for Woody Guthrie’s 100th birthday---Roll on Columbia, Roll on! I've also been lucky enough to play on cruise ships, public libraries and museums, in 100 year old barns, historic homes and lodges, on cross-country trains, during Solar eclipses, at a Military ball, at parties, on flatbed trucks, in shopping malls, National Parks, antique stores, and in living rooms and backyards (just like yours!) of nice folks all over North America from Bridgeton, Maine to Norman, Oklahoma; Little Rock, Arkansas to Stevens Point, Wisconsin; Grand Island, Nebraska to Portland, Oregon; Auburn, AL to Mission, British Columbia; Newport, RI to Chapala, Mexico--and back again!

Each and every House Concert is a very special event. If there’s a space to play in your house or yard (or barn!) where you’ve always dreamed of hearing an intimate, once in a lifetime show, Contact me and let’s make that dream come true!! Because that’s what ‘House’ Concerts are all about…

Book Songwriting Class:

I've also taught Songwriting classes at Festivals, Retreats, Camps, before shows, in parks, historic lodges, etc. I tailor my classes to fit the intended audience from first time songwriters, to more experienced one's seeking a creative spark, on everything from my process, touring, success in songwriting competitions, how to stay organized, and once did a class on the songs of Alan Lomax, who is reported to have recorded and/or collected more than 17,000 Folk songs.
