Nationally acclaimed singer/songwriter Chris Vallillo teams up with Grammy winner Rocky Maffit on percussion and mandolin wizard Don Stiernberg for his 5th recording 'The Dance'. Dirty Linen Magazine describes Vallillo as having 'an eye for detail... Vivid original story songs presented in a crisp expressive tenor.' The Dance features 12 roots based original and contemporary songs and instrumentals with the rich acoustic textures of bottleneck slide, finger style and flatpicked guitars that echo the influences of Mississippi John Hurt, Norman Blake, Doc Watson and John Fahey.
