Daniel Gunderson IF

gundo (aka Daniel Gunderson) came into filk sideways in the early part
of the century, bringing years of folk and classic rock experience with him. Early on, he foolishly said "Why not?" to Eric Coleman and Toyboat was born. Within Toyboat, he established himself as a fronting utilityman, and from time to time he takes the stage with his classic-rock-as-folk side-band Howlin' Beagle.

If it has strings, keys, or can be hit, gundo will play it, sometimes with very little notice either of the song, the key, or, indeed, the performance itself. In recent years gundo has shifted from guitar and mandolin to playing piano and Hammond in the Pegasus-nominated Random Fractions. He can also be found on stages throughout North America backing up various filk luminaries, surrounded by multiple instruments and pleading for an accurate set list.
