Dan Patlansky live At Emperors Palace

With two number one worldwide albums to his name, there is no arguing that legendary South African blues rock guitarist, Dan Patlansky is on his way to being one of the world’s best guitarist.

His past two albums, Dear Silence Thieves and Introvertigo, were both voted the number one Blues Rock Album in the world by Blues Rock Review USA, making him the first artist ever to receive this accolade twice.

Patlansky is also no stranger to these types of accolades as he was also voted Male Artist of the Year 2015 by Blues & Soul Magazine, number four of 10 Best Rock Guitarists In The World by Total Guitar Magazine in December 2015 as well as one of the Top 20 Blues Rock Artists by Blues Magazine.

In February last year, he received a nomination for Best International Solo Artist for the Planet Rock Radio ‘Rocks’ Awards.

He was also nominated and rated second in the category of Top Five ‘Overseas Artist Of The Year’ by the British Blues Awards in September.

Introvertigo, Patlansky’s latest album, is his eighth studio album, produced by renowned South African producer, Theo Crous.

He wrote the album over the course of two years and used his personal life experiences as inspiration for the album to ultimately marry good songs with guitar playing.

Patlansky was the special guest on Joe Satriani’s UK Shockwave Tour for 25 shows in 10 countries in November 2015.

He also performed as special guest on award-winning blues rock band, King’s nationwide UK tour in May and June 2016, performing a total of 26 shows in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK.

He is currently touring Europe and the UK for the promotion of his latest album, Introvertigo.
