Dan Patlansky

Dan Patlansky picked up a guitar at fourteen, raised on his parents’ records — Clapton and Peter Green, B.B. and Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Hendrix — and had his first band together by sixteen. His debut Standing at the Station came out in 1999; True Blues followed on Blue Note in 2004. Alongside Joe Bonamassa, he is one of only a handful of artists worldwide to have taken two number ones and two number twos on Blues Rock Review’s Best Blues Rock Album lists.

In 2014 he was hand-picked to open for Bruce Springsteen at FNB Stadium, in front of roughly 64,000 people. In 2015 Joe Satriani took him across the UK on the Shockwave arena tour.

He is the only act on the 2026 season who did not play in 2025 — and he arrives sharing a stage with Albert Frost. If you came for the playing rather than the singalong, this is your afternoon.
