This week at the Farmers Market
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Headed down to the East Bay last month. NO Muffin this year - but we missed the Muffineers so much we had to make the trip. Played at the Starry Plough and the Missouri Lounge, caught the Happy Clams and the Cave Painters, Salem and many other favorites, saw my righteous friends, especially Joan and Jenny, Doug, and...well, it's a long list. Great to see everyone! Special thanks to Paul Pot (of the Clams) for the spiffy poster.
I have a few upcoming Farmers Markets, and my broadcasts online through Second Life.
Keeping my schedule a bit thinner while I adjust to getting around with a cane - and finding that there's PLENTY of music to keep me occupied right here in my studio. Getting music into an independant film was a GOOD shot in the arm when I needed it - "Mine" is the second one, I also have a piece in a film about Bay Area musical legend Girl George, "George and the Arizona Star".

Dan Lange in award winning film
A selection of my music, recorded during tracking for my release "Streetwise", appeared in the film "Mine", which won the audience choice award at this year's SXSW. I'm as pleased as punch!
The piece can be heard in it's entirety on the Soundclick player at the top of this page.

Starting to bring Blues to Second Life...possibly entering third or fourth childhood.
I've been playing a couple of shows weekly at Virtual Venues on this marvel of technology, and exploring the world of user-created content therein.

We drove down to the Meadow to see our friends and play some music. As always, a great party.

Spring is here
Jane and I went camping at Yaquina Bay this past beautiful weekend.
Looking forward to the start of the Hillsboro Farmers Market. In the meantime, I've been getting comfortable recording in the Cube; I recorded a voice demo for an Actor friend last week, and it looks like he's got some work with it.

Great times in the Northwest
Been having a ball, lately - recently played shows at the Mock Crest and at Cafe Marino, and broke new ground at the Hillsboro Farmers Market.
This week, on Wednesday night, I'll be playing a showcase at the Hawthorne Theater.
Still feeling pretty new to the area - headed east instead of west Saturday morning, wound up in Gresham instead of Hillsboro. Fortunately, I had Cymande playing in the background. Impossible to stress out while listening to Cymande.

Drivin' South...
Next Friday, Jane and I will be headed to Berkeley to visit our friends down there.
Heading down on short notice, so no shows have been booked, but I will be hitting the Starry Plough open mic on Tuesday the 18th - look for me there and at the Missouri Lounge on Wednesday night.

Portland Summer
Tuesday night was another great night at the Mock Crest tavern. http://www.mockcrest.com/
This North Portland bar was the first placed I played on arrival here a year ago; it's turning out to be a favorite. Folks who had heard me elsewhere have been tracking me down there; the place books some fantastic local Blues, and is the regular stomping grounds of Rollie Tussing http://www.rollietussing.com/ .

Playing on the porch
Visited Silver Falls this weekend and logged some "porch time" . Guitars just sound better on a porch.Friday, June 01, 2007
Muffin again!
May was a month full of travel - visited Jane's family in Europe, spent a week in Philly with my bunch, and ended up at this year's Meadow Muffin.
A great time, spent visiting people I love. What could be better?
The Muffin this year, of course, was dedicated to the memory of Pat Quinn, and was full of his spirit. You could feel his wild grin beaming down on us!
It was particularly cool to hear Cap'n Mike Hudson and the Sea Kings on the bill, and to hang out with him again.
Now it's back home - the weather is finally warm ad sunny here in Portland, so Busking is happening, and I have a show at the Mock Crest this Sunday.

Who am I?
Dan Lange
Singer and Slide guitarist.
Dan Lange moved to Portland in the summer of 2006, immediately following the release of "Streetwise”, his second CD.
A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dan has been playing and singing professionally since 1982, when he was a founding member of Shakey Lyman’s “Boogiemen”. He also fronted “The Hired Guns Blues Band” with Sonny Rhodes Protégé guitarist Tim Pikunas.
He hosted blues jams and open mic nights at Bacchanal on South Street, and the “Guns” were frequent guest hosts at the jam session at the Barbary when the Sonny Rhodes' Band was on the road. The “Guns” also hosted late-night jam sessions at the after-hours hot spot “The Palmer Social Club”.
During his years in Philly, Dan was also Musical Director for Moonstone – a non profit organization that brought music and poetry to the classrooms and children’s events including performances at the Philadelphia Zoo.
After working around the Delaware Valley and New Jersey for a few years, Dan packed up and moved to London, England, where he started to work primarily as a solo performer – and where he honed his Delta – influenced slide guitar style playing in pubs and busking on Chalk Farm Road in Camden Town, the Tube Stations, and at Covent Garden. He also played a 3 month residency at Bunjies Folk Cellar, hosted a series of open mic nights at the Queens Head Pub in Haringey and recorded a self-titled cassette–only release.
In the mid 90s, Dan returned to the USA with his wife, Jane, and settled (for 8 years) in the Bay Area of California, where he played a variety of venues, including Crafts Fairs, Farmers Markets, bars, taverns, clubs, cafe's, festivals, and the bustling Telegraph Avenue street scene. Dan played the Solano Stroll 3 times during his stay by the Bay.
He was also a frequent Guest Host at the Open Mic at the “Starry Plough”. While living in California, Dan recorded and released 2 CDs – “Please and Thank You” and “Streetwise”. He also fronted the “Dan Lange Band”, a Blues band which worked roadhouse bars in the surrounding Suburban areas.
Dan Lange is particularly proud of the performances he did with the organization Bread and Roses, bringing his music to halfway houses, shelters, rehabilitation centers, and the San Francisco Civic Center as part of Operation Homeless Connect.
Today, Dan is looking to establish himself as a fresh face on the Portland music scene, a city which has already welcomed him warmly – he opened the October meeting of the Cascade Blues Association, and guest hosted the Open Mic at Slabtown several times.
