Country/folk-tradition songwriter Dan Weber

Described as "The classic mid-life overnight sensation." A gifted storyteller and inspired performer, in 2013 Weber won 3rd place in the prestigious Woody Guthrie Songwriting Competition and the Silver Award in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. Previously he was a 2012 finalist in the legendary Kerrville 'New Folk' competition as well as the 2010 Dave Carter Memorial Songwriting Contest along with several other national and regional honors.

An ex-Park Ranger, Weber follows the long tradition of songwriting legends, entertaining audiences with energetic performances and telling hilarious, true stories from the many roads he's traveled. Songs from his debut CD 'Ash and Bone' received accolades from American Songwriter Magazine, the Great American Songwriting Contest, and the UK's Maverick Magazine said: "4 Stars: Has you hanging on to every word. That's the touch of a true master craftsman songwriter, quite indispensable."

The Victory Review magazine writes "Weber's writing is as strong as any in the Contemporary Folk community. 'Goodbye to Dad' is one of the best original tunes that I have heard in a long time." There's also been recognition from DJ's "'Hank and Jesus' is easily the best folk song I heard last year. It has a timeless and authentic 'Me and Bobby McGee' feel to it" and legendary folk troubadour Ramblin' Jack Elliott said "I love Dan's songs and he tells really good stories"
