"a phenomenal experience!"
BOOKING IS RECOMMENDED!
Award-winning singer, guitarist, songwriter and historian Dan McKinnon hails from the Canadian Maritimes, an area rich in the musical and cultural traditions of the North Atlantic. In addition to his many solo performances and recordings, Dan has performed with Symphony Nova Scotia and toured Atlantic Canada and Ireland as part of an International Theatre Festival show about the life and times of Stan Rogers. Dan has also recorded and performed with the pub groups McGinty, and Evans and Doherty.
Dan's thoughtful compositions and smooth melodies cover the entire folk spectrum, with themes traditional, historical, contemporary and universal. His warm baritone voice, original compositions and superb guitar arrangements have won this native Nova Scotian widespread praise from critics, club owners, festival organizers and fans. Most recently, on the 9th November, he wowed the audience at Hornsby Folk Club. See review here.
