notes
December 2007 saw the release of “THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR”, the new CD from Kansas City guitarist Dan Bliss. Featuring twelve new original songs, this self produced CD follows his first release “OPEN FOR BUSINESS”.
Bliss took 2nd place in 2005 and 3rd place in 2007 in the INTERNATIONAL FINGERSTYLE GUITAR CHAMPIONSHIP at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS. He won 1st place in fingerstyle guitar at the 2005 KANSAS STATE FIDDLING & PICKING CHAMPIONSHIPS in Lawrence, KS.
Since releasing his first CD in 1999, Bliss has kept a busy performance schedule in Kansas City and around the Midwest. He appeared at the NEW YORK STATE BLUES FESTIVAL in 1999 and 2001 and has opened shows for artists such as Steve James, Marcia Ball, Honeyboy Edwards, John McCutcheon, Kelley Hunt, The Waybacks, Mem Shannon, and St. Louis blues legends Henry Townsend and Johnnie Johnson.
Originally from upstate New York, Bliss has made his home for almost 20 years in Kansas City, inspired by the traditions of blues and jazz and the incredible wealth of local talent. In addition to working as a solo acoustic act, he has also played electric guitar with the KELLEY HUNT BAND and his own band BLUETONIUM. These days in addition to solo gigs, he also leads a trio and occasionally appears with K.C. jazz guitar great ROD FLEEMAN.

That's What I'm Here For
author: Joseph NolanEnjoyed the Music and the finger picking very much. Was especially interested in Martisco Breakdown as is just down the road from me. Same for Nine Mile Creek Blues as it runs thru my backyard. NICE CD!
That's What I'm Here For
author: Linda Vincent RikerLoved the entire album. A great piece of work that is especially appreciated by those of us who are still in central N.Y. I bought 3 of the CDs and they are being equally enjoyed by each of three generations.
That's What I'm Here For
author: Natalie MilhollandGreat Musc. I've played the CD multiple times since purchasing it. I recommend it.
