Dan Sistos is a prolific and extremely talented composer and guitarist whose experiences include working with some of the biggest names in the music business.  Dan has performed on major radio stations throughout the country and on national network television shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Late Show with David Letterman, Good Morning America and the American Music Awards.        

Dan recently produced and released his own much anticipated CD “In the Midnight Hours,” marking his debut as a composer and guitar soloist.  By combining Latin, Classical and World styles, Dan achieves a sound that is truly his own.  Phenomenal guitar playing, amazing musicianship and a world class production results in an album that is equally beautiful as it is haunting.   The CD has received rave reviews in music publications, and has been excitedly lauded by his fans.  20^th Century Guitar Magazine hailed him a “Spanish guitar master” while Black Label Reviews declared him “the Carlos Santana for the next generation.”  Dan is fortunate to know, and to have worked with, many professional, experienced musicians who recorded on his album, some of whom are now members of his group.            

Dan started playing the guitar when he was fourteen years old in San Diego, California.  His natural ability for the instrument was so evident that he was awarded a scholarship to the National Guitar Summer Workshop a year later.  After that he studied at the Berklee School of Music in Boston, and later at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood, CA.  Since graduating GIT in 1997, Dan has been working as a full-time professional musician in Los Angeles.
