Dan Fellman and Grant Ruiz

Introducing Dan & Grant, a dynamic guitar duo that will transport you to the music of different countries and cultures. Grant Ruiz, a local musician and teacher, is a force to be reckoned with on the guitar and vocals. He has a long history of performing in the Green Shows and at OSF, and is currently a board member of the Jefferson Classical Guitar Society. Dan Fellman, on the other hand, is a jazz guitarist specialized in the music of Django Reinhart and his Hot Club of France group from the 1930's and 1940's. He has performed with local bands like Gypsy Rogue, Back Porch Swing, and the Djangoholics, and in duos with Ashland guitarist Ed Dunsavage and Portland-based guitarist Dan Balmer. Together, Dan and Grant offers a unique experience of guitar duets from around the world, with background remarks on the music they play, particularly the more obscure, foreign pieces. They are also known for their performance with a local Argentine tango dance group. Their music is a hit at wineries and private events, and they are perfect for those who want to experience a diverse and exciting musical performance.
