"It's hard to tell just where Dan Chavers
stops and his music begins."
- Scott Harris, singer/songwriter
Texas born
singer song writer Dan Chavers moved to Oregon at the age of six and
grew up in the Portland area. He has called Central Oregon his home
since 1969.
Chavers turned to song writing in the seventies with his early influences being John Prine, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. As an active member in the Central Oregon Songwriter Association, Dan was honored with four Song of the Month awards in 1998 and wrote the 1999 COSA Folk Song of The Year.
