Dan Patlansky sings the blues at The Barnyard

Dan Patlansky has been described as a ‘conglomerate of charisma, charm and musical genius’ and won the only Gold Standard Bank Ovation Award presented at this year’s Grahamstown Arts Festival.

In only a little over a decade on the music scene, Dan Patlansky has become one of the busiest and most respected blues artists to come out of South Africa. It’s been said that ‘what Dan Patlansky can do with a six-string Fender Stratocaster at the age of 30, most critically acclaimed guitarists will never quite achieve in a lifetime’.

In 2006, Fender Guitars recognised Dan’s fiery playing and offered him an endorsement deal to promote Fender Guitars and amps. Dan is one of only six Fender endorsed guitarists in South Africa.

Dan has recently unveiled an online store to deal with the relentless demand for his music. The store at www.danpatlansky.co.za was initially launched locally, and will go international later in the year.

The show starts at 8pm and tickets are R120 per person. For bookings and enquiries phone The Barnyard Theatre on 031 566 3045, e-mail gateway@barnyardtheatres.co.za or visit www.barnyardtheatres.co.za/gateway
