Dan Musil can do rare things with a slide guitar. Shared with warm humility, Dan's music combines haunting instrumental compositions with boisterous songs of social satire. With a penchant for improvisation, a love of Celtic tunes, and a bag of original music, let Dan take you on a journey to where jigs meet the blues, where eucalyptus-infused meditations meet driving groove & flowing phrase. A former resident of this strange city, Dan takes any opportunity to get back to the Bush Capital (and in particular, Smith’s!) from Gippsland.
