"I am so glad I was able to have Dan Garcia at the library. It means a lot to be able to provide accessible performing arts experiences for our patrons, and were they wowed by Dan! It was just Dan and his guitar, but my goodness did he positively fill the room with music! It sounded like there were multiple guitars playing, yet somehow Dan was able to create that magic on his own. A real pleasure and a privilege."

“The Bronxville Public Library was thrilled to have Daniel Garcia perform classical Spanish guitar pieces for our patrons to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.  Daniel was a passionate performer and his renditions were exquisite, keeping the audience entranced.  More than just a performance, Daniel also provided background and historical context for the artists and works he chose to play.  I would not hesitate to have Daniel back again for another event for the library.”

“For the past two years, Daniel Garcia has presented an outstanding classical Spanish guitar program at our library demonstrating exceptional musicianship, technical precision, and a deep understanding of the repertoire. His performances were both engaging and elegant, resonating strongly with our audience. 

Equally noteworthy was his professionalism. Dan was prompt, well-prepared, and highly collaborative throughout the planning process. His clear communication, reliability, and courteous demeanor made coordination effortless. 

I wholeheartedly recommend Dan for any organization seeking a skilled and dependable performer. His combination of talent and professionalism greatly enhanced our events, and I would be pleased to host him again in the future. “

“We recently  hosted Daniel Garcia at an intimate gathering at our library.  His music of Spain and Latin America spanned many generations and styles, giving it a rich, varied style.  He began each piece with a brief introduction so the audience had an understanding of the pieces.  His guitar playing was warm, and rich and romantic leaving the audience captivated.”

Dan's solo concert performances have been pleasing audiences around the U.S. for years.

​

​

Dan's program features compositions from the Americas and Spain, as he soulfully presents works by Villa-Lobos, Agustín Barrios, Jose Luis Merlín, Antonio Ruiz-Pipó, Albéniz, Tárrega, and Brower, and more.

 

Steeped in tradition and the sounds of old Segovia records, Dan Garcia’s love of Spanish guitar began right at home in his birthplace of Madrid, Spain.  From the romantic compositions of Francisco Tárrega to the memorable melodies of Agustín Barrios, Dan’s program of Spanish and South American  songs is an authentic offering of personal heritage. 

 

His studies include master classes with guitar virtuosi Ernesto Bitetti, Oscar Gihglia, Jason  Vieaux and Alvaro Pierri. 

 

In addition to Spanish classical music, Dan plays a variety of styles including world music, jazz, flamenco and rock. He has performed countless gigs in New York City’s most revered clubs including Joe's Pub, (le) Poisson Rouge, SOBs, Zinc Bar, Drom, The Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall, and Cafe Wha? and is the lead guitarist of the mesmerizing Santana tribute band, Black Magic.

 

Dan founded Maple Street Studio, a private teaching studio, and DG Music Studio where he composes, arranges and collaborates on music for media, film and advertising. He is the creator of three guitar technique books as well as two bilingual learning apps for aspiring guitarists and teachers. In addition to a thriving performance career, Dan teaches guitar and music production at Manhattan University in New York City.
