All music used with permission by Dan Wilson Trio.

What can we say about Akron based guitarist Dan Wilson, at this point, that hasn’t already been said. From his work with Joey DeFrancesco and Christian McBride, to his extraordinary solo work, we were lucky to snag Dan for an intimate trio evening celebrating his release of his fourth album Things Eternal.

For this performance, which draws on that album among a myriad of other influences, Dan once again engages Kip Reed on bass and welcomes Jessica Yefanaro on vocals.

From a sold out performance from April 21st, 2023, it’s the Dan Wilson Trio – Live at the Bop Stop.
