"I think my favorite lesson from the blues is that real gold is found somewhere scattered and buried in the dirt, waiting to be found by the ones who seek it."
One Hand Dan (Daniel L. Russell) is a 29 year old ex-professional wrestler turned blues musician from Alabama. Born with one hand in Splendora, Texas, his can do attitude is inspirational to many. Dan always wanted to learn the guitar but never pursued it because he never thought he would be able to play it well enough to try. Well, he didn’t actually purchase a guitar. He acquired it from a friend who took it out of the trash from a remodeled Ruby Tuesdays. A short time later he met his wife Lizzie who inspired him to change his life around and live and give 110% again. She bought him his first cigar box guitar kit. After building that first kit, the hallway to their 2nd floor apartment became a permanent workspace. At the time, Dan was pulling 60 hours a week loading beer trucks and saved money to buy his first Resonator guitar. Inspired by slide guitar, he knew the right equipment was important to his sound. With his gorgeous guitar, he began to perform locally on the streets of Muscle Shoals.
After years of living in the Shoals, Dan and Lizzie moved to Tuscaloosa where he had a vision of a 3 neck cigar box guitar. Dan’s love for country and Delta blues started seeping into his performances. As a pro wrestler, Dan knew how to work a crowd, knowledge which became very helpful to this struggling musician. Dan loves to start random conversations of hilarity with strangers, oft times during his performances. Dan has been included on two Tuscaloosa tourism videos, and performed at a number of venues, festivals, and street corners. Festivals include Chicago Cigar Box Guitar festival, Clarksdale Juke Joint Festival, Flying Monkey Cigar box guitar Festival, Oxford Fringe Fest, Lowebowe Stage at Deep Blues Fest, and Nickel Guitars at Bonnaroo 2014, and recently a featured artist in "W.C Handy, Mr. Handy's Blues". Keep an ear out for the cries of delta blues slide guitar and an eye out for the infamous homemade instruments and minnow bucket tip jar.
