Dakota
Dave Hull will visit to
Japan again!
Hailed by everyone from Dave Van Ronk to Doc Watson, from
the Washington Post to downbeat, Dakota Dave Hull’s
guitar style spans a wide musical geography to create an
infectious, uniquely personal blend of jazz, ragtime,
folk, blues, Western swing, and vintage pop. Dakota Dave
is a restlessly curious, adventurous traveler along the
broad highway of America’s music. In his playing the
masters speak, but in a vocabulary that is Dave’s
alone: alternatively mirthful and moving, always melodic.
