Gabe Dansereau grew up in the rich old-time/folk music tradition of the Appalachian Mountains in southeastern Kentucky where he learned to play the fiddle by rote at the age of 8. The skills that he developed at this time acted as a platform to begin studying jazz at the age of 15.

During his time there, he had the privilege of working with musicians from alll over North Carolina, typically in a jazz setting. Groups and musicians he has worked with include Zen Poets, The Aaron Matson Nonet, Brandon Lee, Chad Eby Steve Haines, Lage Lund and Matt Wilson. He currently resides in Greensboro where he continues to work as a freelance gigging jazz guitarist and composer.
