"If you don't feel music reach into your soul and rip out your emotions, than why bother.." DR
"Dan Raven's music will do just that, a journey through every emotion can be experienced through this guitar oriented music. Not just about shredding or speed, there is an individual and profound soul in each piece that Dan has written or produced."
"Formerly of 'Musical Adventures' instructional studio of Locust Valley NY, Dan Raven's style of guitar instruction of all genres of the guitar brought over 650 students, ranging in age from 6 to 81, to the peak of their abilities. With frequent concerts, students were not only taught to master the guitar but to love music, theory and the effect it could have on their lives. Weekly band workshops taught musicians how to work together creatively and bring forth combined projects that were phenominal to say the least!." -ISLAND'S EAR
I pride myself in not only creating music and emotion from that music, but also with the art of instruction as well. I enjoy spreading the gift of music and talent almost as much as the creatiion of it. You get what you give in life, so I try to do the right thing whenever I can.
For those who have helped in one way or another with the new studio, I can't thank you enough and you will ALL be a huge part of it.
I am proud to announce that the Grand Opening will be late summer and all will be invited to kick it off. This will primarily be a guitar workshop with practice and recording functionality as well, so.... fuckin'ayy.... back for more!
As far as a CD and release, for any who give a shit! Only because I was pushed to do so, I am "officially" releasing "Blending In", the 12 track CD also late summer under an undisclosed label. Same deal, each track has a story and each has it's own soul as someone once said. I've also had single requests which I will now be able to provide so just ask again if you want. For those who asked about it, my songs are written to tell a story without words, you fill in the friggin' blanks, I'm too tired! Each person interprets slightly different so I'm amazed by some responses I get from the people who are down with it.
And thanks again to those people. DR
