Artist Spotlight: Dan Tharp

March 25th, 2008
Dan Tharp

Dan Tharp is a brilliantly talented solo acoustic guitar player whose music has already captivated many on Amie Street. He plays classical and steel guitar, and in the words of one reviewer, "always sounds like he's playing four guitars at once." Find some key tracks off his superb debut album after the break!

Face Down in a Pool of Dreams is a name that Dan came up with in high school (he's been playing guitar since age 13), and seems to have stuck. It's well chosen for this collection, which has that peculiar, peaceful way of seeming detached from everyday life that often comes with virtuostic guitar playing.

“Cosmic Dan Tharp transporting us to a place beyond all borders and tripping the light fantastic with sitar-like accompaniment. Sounds like guitars on hallucinogens.......how does he do this?”

Dan is currently working on a sophomore album, titled Second Thought, and has uploaded a few preview tracks. Looks like he's taking things in an exciting new direction, so fan him today and be one of the first to know when it's finished!

“Like Dylan at Newport, Dan goes electric (kinda) and adds a rich and uplifting sound to his repertoire. There's a sense to this one that there's somewhere to go, and we're just on the cusp of sensing it. Just enough.”
