His music is eclectic, interweaving elements of rock, country, folk, jazz, the blues, and R & B. When asked what makes his music unique, Dan says, “It's taking all of the above and blending them into something that I typically perform on solo acoustic guitar!” While he is currently based in Portland, Oregon, Dan typically bounces between there and Nashville, Tennessee."I was born and raised in Alaska, where I got swept up in Beatlemania and the British Invasion at an early age," Dan says in describing his background. "My love for all kinds of music propelled me to learn any instrument I could get my hands on, although I concentrated heavily on the piano and guitar - as they were the primary tools used in songwriting, which became my obsession. I really believe that my love of music - in all forms - is what has kept my own both timeless and contemporary."Along the way, Dan has won several awards and honors as both a songwriter and a performer, but his current pride and joy is his new album, "No Running From The Storm (Songs Of Life, Love, And Loss)" by Dan Lowe & The Skeletal Remains!Ron Shaffer Ron Shaffer is an award-winning songwriter who’s been featured on such shows as "Evening Becomes Eclectic" on KCRW.
