Danny Michel
The upside of not browsing record stores anymore? You don’t have to figure out where to find Danny Michel. If you did, you might try looking under rock, pop, folk, world, or even classical—good luck with that! Danny’s self-proclaimed musical A.D.D. has kept his sound fresh for decades. Maybe it’s because he was born next to a candy factory, or perhaps it’s his ambidextrous brain, but his thoughtful lyrics and charming performances have won him a loyal fanbase. He’s racked up multiple Juno and Polaris Prize nominations, CBC’s “Heart Of Gold” honor, and recently snagged the CFMA’s “Producer of the Year” and “Oliver Schroder Pushing the Boundaries” awards. But ask Danny, and he’ll tell you the real highlights of his career are the unique moments—like playing at Jane Goodall’s 85th birthday, touring with Stuart McLean, and supporting the charities closest to his heart.
Steve Poltz
It might’ve been last night, but Steve Poltz just played the greatest show of his life. And guess what? The next one’s going to top that—making it, you guessed it, the greatest show of his life. Sensing a pattern here? He’s not shy about it either. After what’s likely thousands of shows (who’s counting?), Steve still hits the stage with the same energy and proudly declares, “This is the greatest show of my life.” It’s no wonder he’s quietly become a live phenomenon, celebrated by a passionate fanbase worldwide. He’s a festival favorite everywhere from Bluesfest in Byron Bay to High Sierra in California, Telluride Bluegrass in Colorado, and even the Cayamo Cruise—where he actually got married. Steve’s music has snuck into pop culture through collaborations with artists like Jewel, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, Nicki Bluhm, Oliver Wood, and even the late Mojo Nixon. After over a dozen albums, he’s still creatively firing on all cylinders, earning praise from Rolling Stone, Associated Press, Billboard, and many more.
