Dan Auvil
percussion

Dan was first exposed to Balkan music as a college student in the San Francisco Bay Area and was interested in the new melodies and foreign instruments. Dan was especially drawn to the large two-headed drum called daoúli. He met George Chittenden at these events and soon they were playing live music for a small dance group. Over the years his skill and reputation have grown and he is known as a "dancers" drummer. He also teaches at the annual Balkan Music and Dance Camp in Mendocino, California.
