Dan Wilson + Voices GRAMMY® nominated recording artist & Akron native guitar master makes his highly-anticipated return to BLU on Thanksgiving weekend with an all-star lineup! Featuring Dan Wilson, Dave Throckmorton, Kendall Carter, Jessica Yafanaro, Durrell Legrair, Tommy Lehman.

Akron’s own, guitarist Dan Wilson, is one of the biggest names on the jazz guitar scene today. He has shared the stage with the likes of Russell Malone, Christian McBride, Joey DeFrancesco, Les McCann, Eric Marienthal and Dave Stryker, to name a few.
 

 
Growing up in Akron, Ohio, Dan Wilson spent the majority of his youth within the church community, where his musical path began. Wilson’s career took him on an exploratory journey into foundations laid down by the guitar/organ tradition, eventually leading to an invitation to perform with jazz great Joey DeFrancesco’s trio quartet, with which Wilson went on to earn a GRAMMY® Award nomination for DeFrancesco’s Project Freedom album (Mack Avenue Records, 2017). From there, Wilson went on to tour with Christian McBride’s trio Tip City, eventually leading McBride to serve as producer on “Vessels of Wood and Earth” and release the album on his newly formed imprint Brother Mister Productions through Mack Avenue Music Group. The album was released on April 23, 2021.
 
Get your tickets early for what is sure to be a very memorable and hard-swingin’ evening as we welcome Dan and his phenomenal band back to BLU!
