BanjerDan

BanjerDan brings his unique mix of hot pickin’, heartfelt songs, and humorous commentary to The Santa Paula Theater Center for a program of "Music for Children (and Other Young People)" on Sunday, June 8th, 2025. The matinee performance begins at 2:30 PM. BanjerDan (Dan Mazer) is a “banjo-centric” acoustic musician and entertainer based in Santa Cruz County, CA. His music is an Americana mix, rooted in straight-ahead bluegrass and branching out to include folk, country, blues, oldies, and other styles. Dan’s primary instrument is the 5-string banjo, but he also plays guitar, mandolin, and dobro. He has performed all over the U.S. and internationally, as a solo artist, in theatrical productions and symphony orchestras, and as a member of several bands, most notably “J.B. Beverley & The Wayward Drifters.” He has performed in venues ranging from street corner busking to bar/coffeehouse gigs, children's shows, private parties and corporate events. Some of the more notable venues include Opryland, USA, the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, the High Sierra Music Festival, the National Cherry Blossom Festival, and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Dan was honored to perform overseas on behalf of the U.S. State Department, in Israel and at an Independence Day event in Panama. http;//banjerdanmusic.com/ http://facebook.com/BanjerDan/ http://instagram.com/BanjerDan/ https://youtube.com/@banjerdan2331/ Santa Paula Theater Center, 125 South 7th St., Santa Paula, CA 93060; (805) 525-4645 https://santapaulatheatercenter.org/concerts.html#/ "The Santa Paula Theater Center has been providing a first class local theater experience to Ventura County since 1985. The Santa Paula Theater Center was formed in 1985 by veteran stage, film and TV actors Bill Lucking, and the late Dana Elcar, who were both then Santa Paula residents. The young theater group first provided productions and classes in the basement of First Presbyterian Church of Santa Paula, moving to its present location in 1987."
