Meet the Band
Dana Edelman
Guitar 'n Vocals
Dana Edelman started performing on the New England circuit in the late 90’s and received much support from local roots radio stations. He relocated to New York in 2001 and was signed to Segue Records, an independent label that dissolved just before his Segue produced CD was released. In 2010, Dana released his latest full-length CD “Blue Roses” to fine reviews and national airplay on roots-based stations. In late 2013, Dana along with his 11-year old son Jaiden, released “The Massachusetts Song (You Athol)” video which quickly became a regional hit. Dana also performs with “His Slammin’ Band”, comprised of legendary drummer Victor Jones (Stan Getz, Chaka Kahn) and the extremely tasty New York-based guitarist Chris Foley (Thisway, Arlen Roth). Dana started playing with Charlie Giordano in 2014 and The PickPocket Bluegrass was born!
