His remarkable musical journeys have taken him from recording and touring with Belize’s Garifuna Collective to creating an album aboard a Soviet-era icebreaker in the Arctic alongside astronaut Chris Hadfield. Albums such as Matadora and Khlebnikov explore human connection, environmental responsibility and our place in the cosmos, while his latest release, Ghost Town, offers some of his most personal and vulnerable songwriting to date. Beyond the stage, Danny founded the DM Ocean Academy Fund in support of a nonprofit high school in Belize. His commitment to music, community and the environment has led to memorable appearances celebrating Jane Goodall and David Suzuki, as well as tours with Stuart McLean’s beloved Vinyl Cafe. Warm, witty and endlessly engaging, Danny Michel turns every performance into something more than a concert. His songs, stories and spontaneous onstage conversations create an intimate experience filled with humour, humanity and extraordinary musicianship. “One of the most engaging storytellers you’ll ever see live - both in his songs and his onstage conversation.”— Howard Druckman, SOCAN Words & Music “When you need to restore your faith in humanity, just go to a Danny Michel show.”— Sticky Magazine “Just fabulous.
