Dakota Dave Hull plays at the Roots Cellar Saturday, November 19 at 7 pm
Hailed by everyone from Dave Van Ronk to Doc Watson, from the Washington Post to Downbeat, Dakota Dave Hulls 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 Americas music. In his playing the masters speak, but in a vocabulary that is Daves alone: alternatively mirthful and moving, always melodic. A gifted composer as well as a strikingly original interpreter of older tunes, Dave calls what he does classic American guitar. Folk legend Van Ronk called Dave one of the best guitarists in the world. Most of all, Dakota Daves music is great fun. As Douglas Green (Ranger Doug of Riders in the Sky) puts it, There is an imp within Dave Hull that always expresses itself on the fretboard; a witty, intelligent yet respectful imp who frolics in his music, an imp Dakota Dave neither fights nor lets take control, but simply absorbs into the heart of his style.
Hull is something of a guitar god in his native midwest, where hes been dazzling audiences for over 30 years with his lush finger-picking and quicksilver flat-picking. He is also a sly raconteur with an encyclopedic knowledge of vintage American music. -Scott Alarik, Boston Globe
