About Me

Classically trained on upright bass, and in choir from the age of 10 years old, D. Anson has been involved in the Dallas scene since 2006.
In late 06 Anson started playing guitar. He recalls "I was selling guitars at a music shop, and when I showed a customer an acoustic guitar I played it slap pop style like a bass. The customer dug it but, one of the other employees pulled me aside and said, "You can't play guitar like that" Which was the wrong thing to say to me! I started practicing and honing in my technique right there in the shop until my boss loaned me his Gibson J150 to practice on. I tuned it to C and started wailing, a little too hard maybe. When I gave the guitar back it was probably more superglue than guitar"
Focused on songwriting, Anson believes that his technique is a means to an end, and not an end in itself. His passionate and emotive performances are often noted as his main draw. "People like flashy technique, but ultimately they want to connect. Music is a language, it's communication, not just a magic show, not just a monkey doing tricks. "
Currently D. Anson is learning to play banjo, cello, and baritone sax, touring and playing as much as he can. He also has started writing a book of poetry, and He plans to work through the fall on a full length album, and hopes to release it in the spring of 2010.
"It's an exiting time. I love all of my fans, and I love talking to them," -D. Anson
