BIO

 
Award winning guitarist and songwriter, humorous story teller and traveling troubadour, Dana Hubbard brings a great deal to his shows. In the early 2000s, he hit the road as a touring solo singer/songwriter where he traveled the festival circuit, winning many of their competitions along with opening shows and sharing the stage with the artists he admired, covering everything from Folk to Blues to Bluegrass. Prior to that, he spent his dues paying years in the 80s and 90s leading his band, the Delta Twisters in the thriving blues scene on the west coast where he played with some of the top talent of that time.
 
Born and raised on the Central Coast of California, Dana attended UC Santa Cruz only long enough to finish an elective course on country blues, then hit the road and never looked back. He busked the streets of Berkeley and San Francisco and eventually put together his own band playing clubs, juke-joints & biker-bars, moving into bigger venues where he opened shows for legends like Albert King, James Cotton, Etta James, leading to opening slots for Chris Isaak, Greg Allman, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and more. (see full list above).
 
He's garnered top honors at venues like the Telluride Blues Festival and won national and international songwriting competitions. His extensive performing experience coupled with award winning songwriting and stellar guitar playing creates a show that's deeply entertaining. Along with stories from the road, he'll even throw in some eye-popping harmonica too!
