“I’m Dan. Dan MAN-GAN”
I was hooked. My kind of guy.
Many years later, The Dusty Dan of the folk festival has become a winner of 2 Juno Awards. Each tour has gathered more and more fans around the World.
EP’s, albums, tours, festivals, film scoring, co-creating Side Door Access, and full-on family guy.
Now comes the latest project! A beautifully crafted concert documentary by Amazing Factory called All Together Now, recorded at his homecoming concert in 2019 at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver.

And best of all I still see “the guy” behind the songs. Dusty Dan.
