Dan Raza
Dan Raza is a 23-year old English singer who has been captivating audiences since first bringing his own brand of roots music to the stage in late 2006. He first appeared in Stage 2 at The Stables as the second act in the Acoustic Stage strand in October 2007. Since then he has continued on tour, taking his blend of blues fused with folk and country to as far flung places as Texas.
