Description

Alan Hager/Dave Fleschner Duo

Alan and Dave have known each other for years, always playing as sidemen in support of others. A few months ago, Dave called Alan up and asked if he’d like to start a duo where each musician could choose what they’d like to perform. Since then they’ve played together a couple times a month and audiences are responding enthusiastically to the chemistry of this duo. Neither musician is afraid of a challenge, in fact they welcome the energy created in the face of new musical forays. Whether they are playing blues, ragtime, old time-standards, soul or original tunes, the music they create is exuberant, joyful and refreshingly musical.

“Music has always been there for me, and I love it!”Alan Hager

Alan Hager ”is the most complete and accomplished musician I’ve had the pleasure to work with. His sense of time and musicianship are excellent. Not only are his guitar solos different, original, and interesting, his rhythm guitar work, which now seems to be a lost art among guitar- ists, is superb; a musician’s musician! ” – Bill Rhoades

“Alan Hager’s musicianship is the standard by which I judge all others, particularly myself!”
