May 26th: Danny Ellis Singer/Songwriter Workshop

“Danny has been mentoring me for some time now on singing and songwriting and he has helped to open up my creativity so that it just flows forth. He teaches in a way that is warm, organic and real,  you just know that he loves his craft and sharing it’s joy with others. He helps you get down to your honest core and find your music.” – Paul Heumiller

House Concert @ Dream Guitars, Weaverville, NC

“For years I’ve heard Martin Simpson, Tony McManus and many other great players talk about Clive Carroll with the highest regard. When I first heard his music I thought what an amazing player. He seems to milk all the music out of every note. Guitarists and music lover alike should not miss this show!” – Paul Heumiller

(Thumbs Up) Clive Carroll ‘Life In Colour’ (own label CC290908) The astonishing young guitarist’s third CD, on which he again proves his absolute mastery of a myriad of musical styles over the course of a dozen of his own compositions. The great thing about Clive is that his breathtaking playing and ever-impressive technique is never allowed to triumph over intense musicality and listenability. Peerless – no other word for it. Folk Roots Magazine (March 2009)

“I’ve been studying privately with Danny Ellis for a while now and I am more proud of my singing and songwriting then I’ve ever been. He’s helped me to realize why I had so many unfinished songs and to put more honesty into all I write. He’s an amazing singer with a wonderful gift for teaching anyone to increase their range and accuracy in a safe, easy way. I’m delighted to have Danny here for this event!” – Paul Heumiller

“It may just be the most powerful storytelling through music and stories I have ever experienced.
…a riveting oral memoir …filled with clear images of pain, hope and humor.”
~ Connie Reagan Blake – Storyteller

One prime difference between Dream Guitars and other guitar sellers is that we regularly work one-on-one with the best luthiers on the planet – commissioning extraordinary, exclusive guitars with the very finest appointments. Our Dream Series builds are legendary, featuring superlative tone woods and design, and crafted for superb playability and utmost player satisfaction.

Quite often, these highly desirable treasures never even make it to our website, as they are quickly acquired by our walk-in clientele before they can be photographed and recorded. With that in mind, we are starting our new Incoming Guitars blog to keep you abreast of incoming instruments that are truly amongst the finest ever made. Please bookmark this page, or check back regularly for updates.

MICHAEL KELLER GUITARS

Keller Dream Series Rose Model SJ

One of our favorite builders – and one of the nicest guys in the guitar biz – is longtime luthier Michael Keller. We have had many spectacular Keller instruments at Dream Guitars over the years, and they are always impressive. We are so knocked out with Michael’s work, that we commissioned him to build the latest addition to our exclusive Dream Series. Starting with a flawless set of Brazilian Rosewood and an Adirondack top, this guitar is sure to be as wonderfully voiced as it is gorgeous! Please call for further information, and to reserve the Keller Dream Series Rose Model SJ for yourself.
