A musical treat: Danny Michel in concert

 

A
delightful musical treat is coming to Haliburton – singer/songwriter
Danny Michel performs a solo concert on Friday, Sept. 20, 8 p.m. at the
Northern Lights Performing Arts Pavilion. It’s a show sure to warm your
heart, make you smile and even, as Toronto’s Sticky Mag says, “…restore
your faith in humanity.”

Danny
Michel is a multi-talented singer, songwriter, producer and filmmaker.
He is an artist who defies genres and whose music has influences of
rock, pop, folk, world and even classical. In his 20+ years as a
musician, Michel has released 12 albums, including Klebnikov, possibly
the most northern album ever recorded, aboard a Soviet-era icebreaker.
He toured with Stuart McLean and the Vinyl Café, who described him as,
“Just fabulous … kind of like Paul Simon in the rhymin’ Simon days.”
Michel has also collaborated with Commander Chris Hadfield and performed
at the birthday parties of David Suzuki and Jane Goodall.

Michel’s
adventurous spirit has taken him to 25 countries and unique corners of
the world. He’s always armed with a story and a song … from the Arctic,
to the jungles of Belize, his scholarship program, the environment and
more. All this conveyed with great writing, guitar playing and
arrangements that convey a message along with a sense of hope and
possibility. His music appeals to people of any age!

This
show is the first of the 2019-20 Concert Series hosted by the
Haliburton County Folk Society. Local singer/songwriter Cassidy Taylor
will do an opening set. 

The

musical treasures.” Don’t miss this opportunity to discover this
treasure for yourself! Tickets are still available but selling fast.
