SOIS presents Blues Night at RIT
Event Image
Dan Schmitt is known as one of Western New York's best blues and jazz guitarists. At the age of 16, Dan opened for blues legends Howlin Wolf and Buddy Guy and he has played with many blues legends over the years including Rochester's Joe Beard. A longstanding member of Gap Magione's Quartet and Big Band, Dan has also led his own group, Dan Schmitt & The Shadows for more than 30 years. With Wayne Naylor on bass and Mike Plouffe on drums, the band bridges the gap between all styles of the blues from T-Bone Walker's jump and swing to contemporary blues, R&B and soul.
