Merle Haggard Birthday Bash with Daryl Wayne Dasher- 4.4.26
Daryl Wayne Dasher is an artist who sincerely cares about his craft and about the people who listen to it. His passion for music and humanity sweats out of him during every performance. In a new world where people have virtually limitless choices of music, art, and entertainment, it is important to find a way to stand out. In a statement from Outlaw Magazine.com, music critic Richard Deihn wrote that "Daryl Wayne Dasher's unique rolling baritone slides into the listener's soul and takes up residence. A dynamic, commanding and uninhibited performer, Dasher's star power lies in his ability to truly connect."
Daryl (often called “Dash”) got his start in music playing guitar around the campfire with his father and with his uncle’s Bluegrass band, “The Bottom of the Barrel Boys”. Later he joined his church choir as a guitarist. By age 16, he was playing small clubs with a local rock band. He studied guitar performance in college before moving to Nashville, TN from rural NW Ohio in 1997. While in Nashville, he joined an Alt/Blues/Rock band called Mellow Down Easy, where he learned much about touring. He later joined Country Music recording artist Ricky Lynn Gregg’s band as a bassist (upon recommendation from George Jones band members). During his time with RLG he began singing lead during portions of the show and went on to open shows throughout the US and Europe with the band. Dasher released his first solo album, “Long Road Now” in 2008 (featuring members of Waylon Jenning’s band and produced by Jerry “Jigger” Bridges).
In 2013, Dasher released a completely self-created project called “Great Big Sky” where he produced, engineered, and played most of the instruments. That album spawned one of his most popular songs, “Mountains of Montana”. Shortly after, he began working in a Country Music side project with some of George Jones’ band and legendary Rock singer, Jeff Keith (Tesla). In 2019 he recorded a Country/Americana album named “Reinkarmation” with highly acclaimed producer and songwriter Thomm Jutz. The album was highly acclaimed for it’s singer/songwriter approach with songs like “Ridiculous Things” and “Elvis Blues”, and a song co-written during the Jeff Keith project called “Life on the Road”.
