Folk / Acoustic Pedal Steel

Lifelong musician Bryan Daste is maybe best known as a pedal steel guitarist, but also specializes in clawhammer banjo, upright bass, and backing vocals. Also a talented recording engineer and producer, Daste is as skilled as he is versatile. "Bryan Daste seems to be able to play just about anything he wants to" - Joe McSpadden, nodepression.com

I love using space and then the interruption of this space in order to better serve a song/production - Influences: Radiohead, Greg Leisz, Sufjan, Sigur Ros. I specialize in melodic steel guitar playing, song-focused string arranging, keys, and eliciting emotion into your song in any way that I can. I love atmosphere and melody.

Multi-instrumentalist (pedal steel, lap steel, guitars, etc) that exists to serve the song. I love leaving tasteful space just as much as I do soloing. Equally comfortable with more traditional genres/playing styles & pushing the bounds of genre/instrumentation with meaningful experimentation. Being in your songworld is a privilege.
