“One of the best guitarists in the world.”
—Dave Van Ronk
“Hull is something of a guitar god in his native midwest, where he’s been
dazzling audiences for over 30 years with his lush finger-picking and quicksilver
flat-picking. He is also a sly raconteur with an encyclopedic knowledge of vintage
American music.”
—Scott Alarik, Boston Globe, March 2004
Hailed by everyone from Dave Van Ronk to Doc Watson, from the Washington Post to downbeat, Dakota Dave Hull’s guitar style spans a wide musical geography to create an infectious, uniquely personal blend of jazz, ragtime, folk, blues, Western swing, and vintage pop. Dakota Dave is a restlessly curious, adventurous traveler along the broad highway of America’s music. In his playing the masters speak, but in a vocabulary that is Dave’s alone: alternatively mirthful and moving, always melodic.A gifted composer as well as a strikingly original interpreter of older tunes, Dave calls what he does “classic American guitar.” Folk legend Van Ronk called Dave “one of the best guitarists in the world.”
