Artist description Dave Hahn... SingerSongwriterGuitaristTypeUnit Some newspaper reviewers have a tendency to classify Dave as "Country/Western" (that is usually the ones who don't listen to Country and/or Western) Although Dave covers a large repertoir of country songs and fits well in the Country Genre, the CD really fits more in the "James Taylor/Cat Stevens" Folk type of stuff. Most people who actually listen to Country classify Dave as "Soft Rock" or "Folk" or "Acoustic/Rock". Dave's sound incorporates all of these styles but is not purely any one style.

Artist History HISTORY; Dave was born in Chicago in '59, raised in Phoenix, (AZ). He now resides in the intermountain west. He can be seen most of the time around Park City, UT. Self-taught to play guitar starting at age 8, drawing from the playing and singing styles of artists such as; James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, Gordon Lightfoot etc. The majority of music Dave performs (Guitar/Vocals) is Folk/Rock oriented, but he had gained a large repertoire of Country music beginning in '89-'91 while traveling as a bass player with a Country dance club act. Dave has a bit of a chameleon quality to both his Guitar and Vocal styles, which tends to make him sound similar to the original artists when covering their songs. Still, there is enough of a unique quality to the performance of his own original songs that is dynamically recognizable as an entertaining performance style.

Press Reviews Website review clips about Dave Hahn "DAVE HAHN is one of the finest singer/songwriters around, and one of the best acoustic guitarists I've ever had the pleasure to hear. Once you've heard the songs on his debut CD, entitled Dave Hahn, I think you'll agree with me." Craig Helms…the notorious "WebOmaniac" http://members.tripod.com/WebOmaniac/DaveHahn.htm "To me, all of Dave's songs are really conversations, not preachy monologues, self-indulgent soliloquies, or pretentious sonnets. His songs beckon you to listen to them, to relate to them, and ultimately, to respond to the deep stirrings of your own heart." Clifton Sanders Ph.D. A view from the inside http://members.tripod.com/WebOmaniac/DaveHahnInside.htm "The album is an eclectic mix of music. I don't think you could label it "country", but it is clearly evident that the songs - and the singer - have country in their souls... and you can, justifiably, label it 'great music'." Cheryl Harvey Hill… 2-steppin.com http://www.2steppin.com/hahn.htm "He sings his original compositions with raw emotion and a strong well tuned voice. His acoustic guitar picking is rock solid whether doing raucous rock tunes or soft love songs. All of his songs are reflections of personal experiences, and his rugged country voice clearly tells his story." To the Bone Interactive http://www.tothebone.com/hahn.htm Smooth, mellow, yet raucous in all the right places, you can't grow tired of Dave's music as his rich voice flows with it. There's nothing forced; just a stream in which you drift along with each selection." Marli Slater… My kind of country http://www.uao.org/mkoc/Horizon/DaveHahn/daveh.htm "He is a master on the Acoustic guitar! His unique talent allows him to sound like the original artist. With his own songs he sings you will hear a special quality, insight and talent he has been blessed with." Jerry Hinton…Webmaster at "Cowboys and Cowgirls" web http://www.geocities.com/Nashville/6900/dave.html If you admire an artist who has the power to intertwine words and music well enough that it inspires you into stopping and contemplating hidden emotions no matter how big, small or insignificant you may have thought them to be… let Dave Hahn take your hand. Together you can journey through the spectrums of the human mind, heart and soul. John O'Connor… Music Media Interactive http://cazmedia.com/reviews/DaveHahn/
