Dan Patlansky

With 10 studio albums to his name whilst receiving legendary status as globally respected purveyor of the blues for over 10 years, guitarist, singer/songwriter DAN PATLANSKY is one of the world’s finest blues-based storytellers of his generation. Voted the #4 Best Guitarist in the world, DAN remains the only artist in the world with two worldwide #1, as well as two worldwide #2, Best Blues Rock albums to his name, as voted by Blues Rock Review USA.

DAN’s latest album and 10th studio offering, SHELTER OF BONES was released on 25 February 2022. SHELTER OF BONES was recorded over a three-year period from 2019-2021. “The pandemic allowed me to take my time, and really think about how I want the songs to come across,” reflects Patlansky. The album covers a three- year period of many ups and downs, and, as a result, the South African guitarist believes the process has been a very interesting journey.

“My goal is always to try make a record that I would want to listen to,” says Patlansky. “I’m very happy and proud of this album. I produced it myself because I wanted a very particular sound. On three of the tracks, I enlisted a good friend and ex-keyboard player from Hamburg, Tom Gatza, who brought a fresh feel to these songs, especially the ballads (I’ll Keep Trying and Shelter of Bones). The album is an accurate representation of who I am currently as an artist, which is a modern twist on what I love most, the Blues.”

DAN PATLANSKY returns to Silverstar Barnyard with his full-band electric tour. Fans can look forward to old favourites as well as performances from his latest album, SHELTER OF BONES – released in February 2022. SHELTER OF BONES was voted the #2 Best Blues Rock Album of 2022 by Blues Rock Review. It was also voted as one of the Top 5 Albums of 2022 by Classic Rock Magazine.
