DANN
GLENN – GUITARS
Having been a renowned string player and composer for over two
decades, Dann Glenn is now enjoying his highest level of expression
ever. A published novelist (Almost A Proverb) and composer of
six phenomenal symphonies, all Dann Glenn truly cares about
these days is his guitar playing. Upon returning from a tour
in Vietnam (which is the basis of his first novel), Glenn continued
playing alongside such artists as Luther Tucker, Freddie King,
and Michael Bloomfield. After moving to LA, Glenn collaborated
with film scorer/composer Dan Slider on the release “A
Whispered Warning”, several tracks of which were subsequently
used in themes for TV shows. While there, Dann became a respected
member of the faculty at the Musicians Institute of Technology.
With a newly energized vision, Dann released several more solo
recordings to widespread acclaim. Crazed tapping, blistering
postmodern bop solos, and gorgeous chordal interludes are on
tap for all those who find themselves sitting in front of DG
and his band-mates. Dann proudly endorses Rocktron Effects,
Morley Pedals, GHS Strings and AccuGroove Cabinets.
