Hailing from the once great, "city by the bay" Dan Meraz moved to Arizona and became a guide on the Colorado River. The rugged majestic landscape of these regular trips from Glen Canyon around the great horseshoe bend and on down to Lee's Ferry began to inspire and influence his love of music. Coming from a family that shared that love of music, and drawing inspiration from his brother that became highly accomplished in both the guitar and flute, Dan began to explore his love of Spanish guitar and shared his gift with those on the tour. Eventually becoming known to world as "River Dan" he retired here in Southern Utah. As a result, the sounds of his Spanish guitar, once heard only on the majestic Colorado River, can now be heard here at I/G Winery.
