Thursday Music Series: Ramblin Dan Stevens

Thursday, June 11, 2026 @ 5:00 pm

Another segment of Catskill Brewery’s Thursday Music Series with Ramblin Dan Stevens from 5-8pm.

Acoustic fingerstyle blues, early jazz, covers, and originals, with a sound likened to Eric Clapton Unplugged, Bonnie Raitt, and Taj Mahal. A CT Blues Hall of Fame inductee and former student of Dave Van Ronk, Dan has performed worldwide and was a finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis.
“Ramblin” Dan Stevens performs an eclectic mix of traditional fingerstyle blues, popular songs and originals and has entertained audiences  throughout the US, Germany, UK, Canada and Virgin Islands.  Of special interest is his unique style of “bottleneck” slide playing popularized by early Mississippi delta bluesmen including his use of a homemade, three stringed “Cigar Box Guitar” and one stringed “Diddly Bow”, both primitive blues instruments.  As a finalist in the International Blues Challenge ’08 on Beale St. in Memphis TN and protege of the legendary Dave Van Ronk, Dan has been lauded for his ability as a raconteur and for the authenticity of his approach gained by many years on the road as a traveling blues musician.
