Let me tell you something about Dan Blakeslee. Dan is an amazing artist and an equally amazing person. Forsaking all care of perception, I must say unapologitically, Dan Blakeslee is an inspiration. Listening to, watching, or speaking with Dan is always a joy, and the unspoken depth of his character will leave you quaking, speared with vulnerability.
THIS is his website, but you can appreciate him so much more by witnessing him live and viewing what visual art he has with him in his snazzy briefcase. Once acquainted with his style, one will recognize his touch on projects not directly attributed to him by the man himself.
These are a few shots of Dan and his wonderful band performing at the Hogfarm Studio Annex, expertly run by Los Corrals in Biddeford, ME. And yes, I have full video of the show. Try not to be so jealous...

If I could add...

While driving to a fiend's home an hour+ away from my own, I listened to a demo (4 songs) of DB and band's upcoming release...about 4 times. Though I only have the pleasure of seeing Dan a handful of times a year, he inspires me between visits mostly through his songs. I think I realized something about art. Good art..the best art...is not the artist 'expressing himself.' It's the artist conveying his perceptions of his world, whatever that may be. That's my thought anyway.

Thanks for reading, and do yourself a favor, check out Mr. Blakeslee.
