The Cello Madness Congress

As a cellist, Daniel Plane is regarded as a pioneer and skillful improviser. Classically trained at Interlochen Arts Academy and The Longy School of Music, his principal focus since has been the study and performance of folk and fiddle music traditions. Over twenty years of self-directed study has led to his learning a repertoire of other stringed instruments and a diversity of musical styles. He performs his own arrangements of American folk music and in the wild may be spotted playing anything from Gypsy Jazz to Irish music to Rock and Roll. Daniel is a former member of Taarka, and has performed or recorded with artists such as Elephant Revival, The Sun Parade, Maeve Gilchrist, Guy Mendilow, and Jeff Austin & Friends. Daniel holds the unique honor of having been utterly slain by a Deadly Gentleman in his very own living room during an impromptu hip hop battle in which Greg Liszt rhymed intergalactic and prophylactic for the first time.
