Info for Movin' On

Dan Patlansky has solidified his status as one of the most exceptional blues-based storytellers of his generation, earning legendary recognition worldwide. His 11th studio album, 'Movin' On' follows the release of his 2022 album, 'Shelter of Bones', which was voted #2 Best Blues Rock Album of 2022 by Blues Rock Review USA. Dan started writing 'Movin' On' in January 2023, collaborating with a writing trio comprising himself, Andy Maritz, and Greg Van Kerkhof. "Movin' On' is all about going back to my roots musically; playing and writing music that I love the most. This is without a doubt my most honest and raw offering to date. The older I get, the more important it is for me to play what I truly believe in'. He describes the album as a no-nonsense, unforgiving and relentless time capsule of how he wants to be remembered.

DAN started writing MOVIN’ ON in January 2023, collaborating with a writing trio comprising himself, Andy Maritz, and Greg Van Kerkhof. Marking a departure from his prior work and opting for a different approach, he consciously chose not to rely primarily on his own solo writing. DAN describes Andy and Greg as exceptional songwriters who introduced a distinctly fresh perspective and approach to the creative process.

The album was produced by DAN PATLANSKY and Andy Maritz and recorded at Andy’s studio in Johannesburg, South Africa called Drumheadz. DAN chose Andy as co-producer because he understood and shared his vision for the new record and was willing to record the new material according to his desired perspective.

“MOVIN’ ON is all about going back to my roots musically; playing and writing music that I love the most. This is without a doubt my most honest and raw offering to date. The older I get, the more important it is for me to play what I truly believe in.” – DAN PATLANSKY.

DAN describes the album as a no-nonsense, unforgiving and relentless time capsule of how he wants to be remembered. Even with the recording of the record, the focus was to strive for a sound as authentic as a live performance with as little polish and editing as possible.

“My new record is a true representation of myself as an artist, and more importantly – the way I want to be known as an artist. Rediscovering myself, remembering what makes me tick musically, and leaving the past far behind are all themes throughout the album. I wanted to make music that I love without worrying about commercial ideals.”

He chose MOVIN’ ON as the title track to the album because the song speaks for the entire theme of the record as a whole. Whilst performing new songs throughout 2023, MOVIN’ ON also seemed to resonate with audiences on a deeper level, so it was without a doubt the perfect title for his new offering.

“I am extremely excited for everyone to hear the new album! I am exceptionally proud of the songs, production and everyone that performed on the record! Fans can look forward to an honest, powerful and filthy (the good kind) record with great songs packaged in an old-school production!”

“The road testing then returned with a trio of songs that clearly hint towards Dan Patlansky’s next album being his broadest, and potentially best, album yet.” – Fabrications HQ

“Patlansky truly is a force to be reckoned with in the blues genre, with an extra rocking twist” – Blues In Britain

“He is a force of nature!” – London Backline Photography

“On record Dan Patlansky is quite superb but on stage with a capacity crowd in his pocket from the off, he takes it to another level.” – Music News

Dan Patlansky
With 10 studio albums to his name whilst receiving legendary status as globally respected purveyor of the blues for over 10 years, guitarist, singer/songwriter DAN PATLANSKY is one of the world’s finest blues-based storytellers of his generation. Voted the #4 Best Guitarist in the world, DAN remains the only artist in the world with two worldwide #1, as well as two worldwide #2, Best Blues Rock albums to his name, as voted by Blues Rock Review USA. His latest offering, SHELTER OF BONES, was released in February 2022.

In February 2014 DAN was chosen to open for BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN in front of 64 000 people at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, the biggest audience he has ever played to, on his High Hopes tour. DAN was personally approved by Springsteen as support act, seeing as Springsteen rarely has guest artists for his shows.

With a barrage of brilliantly executed electric and acoustic blues rock albums released since 1999, DAN’s albums brought with him a tighter and more engaging lyrical twist and even more interesting turns with each release, which all of which led beautifully to his much anticipated 2014 full- electric album released in May. In December 2014, DEAR SILENCE THIEVES (produced by Theo Crous) was voted the #1 Blues Rock Album in the world by BLUES ROCK REVIEW/USA, alongside names such as Joe Bonamassa, Rival Sons, Devon Allman, The Black Keys, Philip Sayce, and many more.

DAN received raving reviews in European and international press for DEAR SILENCE THIEVES which was released in the UK on 27 April 2015, the same day he performed a launch showcase concert at The Borderline in London, followed by performances in the UK, Poland, The Netherlands and Germany.

In March 2015, legendary guitarist JOE SATRIANI announced DAN PATLANKY as special guest on his UK Shockwave November 2015 tour. The tour stretched over the course of 31 days, 10 countries and 25 shows.

In May 2016, DAN released the follow up album to DEAR SILENCE THIEVES, with Theo Crous helming the production, entitled INTROVERTIGO. Patlansky used his personal life experiences as inspiration for the album to ultimately marry good songs with guitar playing, and the album has been received with critical acclaim both in SA and abroad. DAN performed as special guest on award-winning Blues Rock band, KING KING’s nationwide UK tour in May 2016, performing 26 shows over the course of May and June 2016 in Germany Netherlands and the UK
