“...artist on the verge of a major breakthrough—Dan Schwartz . His release THE ART OF MAKING FIREwill undoubtedly place him among the likes of Shawn Colvin and David Wilcox.” — Fingerstyle Guitar Dan Schwartz delivers a collection of compositions with the power and sensibility one would expect from a veteran, yet with the emotion of a young artist who has something to say, and nothing to lose. The 10 tracks on this recording contain a range of dynamics from spacious solo acoustic guitar compositions (including a beautiful slide guitar arrangement of John Lennon's "Imagine") to organically rhythmic songs that portray Dan as both a technically gifted guitarist/vocalist and an emotionally driven artist. Featured musicians on this recording: Enrique Toussaint-bass Jimi Englund - percussion, Karen Paurus - vocals Tim Snow - vocals, guitar and drums
