Editorial Reviews
Dan Shelton began his professional music career at the age of sixteen when he formed his first country-western band in high school. Later, he played with Glen Campbell at Albuquerque’s Hitching Post and his band, the Westernaires, played as warm-up band for such Grand Ol’ Opry stars as Sonny James, Elton Britt, and Johnny Cash. By the time he entered the Navy, his band was featured entertainment for the captain’s parties. He backed up singer Vickie Carr and played in clubs in numerous foreign ports. He learned many of the fingerstyle techniques of Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed.
While working in Central and South America, Dan became interested in the Brazilian rhythms of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Sergio Mendez, and began learning a variety of Latin and classical pieces.
Returning to Albuquerque, he studied classical guitar at the University of New Mexico under Hector Garcia. He has written and copyrighted several collections of guitar pieces.
He has played at clubs and lounges all across the continental U.S. and Hawaii, including frequent engagements at the Sheraton Hotel on Kauai.
During all this, he also had a 32-year career as a helicopter pilot, from which he recently retired.
His current projects include the production of his own digitally mastered tapes, which will include his favorite pieces and some of his own work.
Dan plays a variety of styles, from popular “easy listening” tunes to extremely complex flamenco and classical music. His own original compositions can best be described as easy-listening romantic guitar with a Latin flair. Soft Latin Nights is his most recent recording, featuring ten original pieces.

Shelton is a fabulous guitarist!.......2001-07-02
All ten songs on this CD are Shelton's own original compositions and I understand he did all the arrangements as well as the guitar leads. My personal favorite is "Without You" but all the songs are great and it's really hard to choose the best. I've also heard him play live, and he can out-perform most any guitarist there is.
If you like intricate guitar pieces, a soft sound with a Latin flair, get this album!
