Indie Pop Pedal Steel

Steel guitarist from Songs Ohia's 'Farewell Transmission' provides tasteful steel guitar for Americana, indie, ambient, rock and twangy tracks.

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 have produced many records for top independant artists, like Local Natives, and Blitzen Trapper, and engineered many like, LCD Soundsystem.

As a producer, arranger and musician I’m often found behind the scenes as a collaborator for artists like Fay Wildhagen, Konradsen, M2M, Metteson and Tuvaband. Through these projects, I’ve steadily built a reputation as a distinctive voice within the Scandinavian art-pop and alternative scenes.
