My performance schedule is posted at https://www.dgans.com/gigs.html – new gigs are being added all the time.

As always, I’m in the market for house concert opportunities. If you see an open spot on my schedule in your general vicinity, let’s try to make something happen! And remember: word of mouth is a gigantic part of musicians’ promotion and publicity these days, so if you like my music, please spread the word about my gigs and recordings.

My recordings are available at https://www.dgans.com/discography/

Great thanks to Jim Dunlop for providing me with first-rate strings for all my guitars! https://www.jimdunlop.com/

Thanks also to Rick Turner for creating the amazing guitar I play on tour, the Renaissance RS-6. https://www.renaissanceguitars.com

If you want to be removed from this list, please send email to david@trufun.com and I’ll take care of it ASAP.

SYCAMORE SLOUGH STRING BAND:
Sycamore Slough String Band is an acoustic band focusing on the music of the Grateful Dead, with other fine songs popping up occasionally as well. With me are mandolinist/guitarist David Thom and bassist Roger Sideman. We held our first rehearsals at Megasonic Studio in Oakland in January 2012, confident that magic would be made, and we did indeed wind up with releasable music. “First Rehearsals” is available in FLAC, MP3, and CD on demand from festivalink.net – https://flink.livedownloads.com/show.asp?show=7293 and in audiophile (96/24) from HDTracks – https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=catalogdetail&valbum_code=HD063944412117

Here are two videos from “First Rehearsals”:

DAVID GANS AND ERIC RAWLINS:
I’m also hawking “Desert Wind, Rollin’ River,” a studio recording of Americana type songs (including several originals) with my dear friend Eric Rawlins. We’ve been singing together, mostly at private gatherings, for more than 20 years. The recording was done in my living room by the great Stephen Barncard, who recorded “American Beauty” and David Crosby’s “If I Could Only Remember My Name…”) It’s available in FLAC, MP3, and CD on demand from Festivalink – https://flink.livedownloads.com/show.asp?show=7136
And in audiophile (96/24) from HDTracks: https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=catalogdetail&valbum_code=HD063944412094
