Response from Even Trade Duo:
Thanks Christina, we had a really fun time and it was a wonderful Halloween party for all of your guests and adorable children!
This duo was amazing! We had them at our shop for a St. Patrick’s Day party and they were phenomenal! They got the crowd up and involved and we’re entertaining throughout the entire time. Highly recommend!
Celtic Music
Dan and Luca are a great duo. They played a private event for us with ~90 attendees and I received so many compliments on the band. They have a lot of energy and talent (Luca's guitar work is incredible). Dan's beautiful wife helps them out as a roadie. She was such a sweetheart. I really just wanted to hangout with them all after the show because they had such spirit (sadly, they had another gig to get to). I will definitely have them back to play at our next party and recommend them to all of my friends.

Dan was a Pleasure to deal with!! He was very responsive and attentive to the needs of the event. They arrived on time, were very self-sufficient and played great music for our party- I highly recommend these guys for your event!!

It was mom’s my birthday, the birthday celebration was planned to be an outdoor event, unfortunately the weather didn’t participate. We had to move the event on my sister’s porch. They helped us moved the furniture and belongings, which they didn’t have to. They felt like family within that moment, they made themselves comfortable and easy to talk to. Overall they were great and they sang very well together. I will book them again in the future. Wonderful people!!

About
Dan was born in the Berkshires in the time of Alice's Restaurant, so his folk roots are inevitable. He also learned to play the guitar trying to pick Mississippi John Hurt's songs; so has a feel for genuine blues as well. A few of his favorites back then were Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie and James Taylor, and a bit later John Prine and Bonnie Rait. He played in coffeehouses in college and always enjoyed searching for great songwriting.
When Dan first got out of college, he went to Italy to teach high school biology in Rome for what was to be just a few years; for the experience and to learn the language. After a year he met a makeup artist named Piera Canu. He ended up staying 23 years. To make a long story short, they got married and Luca happened!
Dan, Piera and Luca moved to the the States when it came time for Luca to go to college at Skidmore in Saratoga, NY. He had played guitar at his international high school in Rome with his friends, and started his first rock band in college. He went on to play with several rock bands in New York City. There was always music at home and Luca would often work out arrangements to Dan’s original songs, and he began to write his own songs as well. They decided to share their "Even Trade" of folk and rock, and soon were playing gigs throughout Westchester getting a very positive response from audiences for their variety of music that appeals to different generations and musical tastes. Everyone also likes the fun atmosphere they create.
