A Troubadour With Goldfingers\u00a0 (Review By Robert Koch)<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Dik Banovich\u00a0<\/strong>is one of those journeyman musicians with a near-baffling history that includes birth in\u00a0Scotland\u00a0followed by many years living in\u00a0the US\u00a0before returning to his native\u00a0land. Growing up in blues hot-spot Chicago in the 1950s and 1960s, he was influenced very early by American guitar music and by the best of traditional and contemporary fingerpicking styles.<\/div>\n
\n

In the early 1970s, Banovich moved back to Scotland where he played the bustling, influential folk-circuit, a club-scene that gave rise to many greats. Back then, he was known in Glasgow as the \u201cAlmost Blind Boy Banovich\u201d because of his downhome picking style.<\/p>\n

And if that was not enough of a travelling musical pedigree, the bard again upped sticks in 2002 with a move to Brittany, in France, where he currently works and is firmly based.<\/p>\n

Banovich has now been playing his \u00abacoustic roots & blues\u00bb mix for more than 40 years at concerts, festivals, clubs and venues in Scotland, England and France, but also in Scandinavia, in the US and in West Africa. His music is built around the traditional acoustic blues, drawn from the deepest roots of the delta, but also swing, ragtime, americana and folk blues.<\/p>\n
