WHAT THE PRESS SAY..

“The word Prodigy seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills, he coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws.”
The Calgary Herald, CANADA

“Today I saw the future of Folk – Festival goers flocking in the thousands towards the main stage to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper.” The Firefly Column, USA

“Daniel Champagne is a crossroads. Fusing the strong traditions of Blues, Folk and other roots art with pop showmanship and admirable lyrical ability. I firmly believe that he will become an ambassador for roots music in a time where it desperately needs representation.” The Indie Blender, CANADA

“reinventing roots guitar” Rhythms Magazine, AUSTRALIA“Watching Daniel Champagne perform is a once in a lifetime experience. He is a true prodigy that plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying the art.” BW Review, NEW ZEALAND

“Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical” Themusic.com.au, AUSTRALIA

"You feel as if he just invented the instrument yesterday and was discovering its possibilities afresh” Ted Gioia (American jazz critic and music historian)

Tucked into the vibrant heart of Old Strathcona, the Varscona Theatre offers an experience that’s both intimate and electrifying — you’re never more than about seven rows from the stage, so every note, lyric, and cheer feels personal. Having been lovingly rebuilt in 2016, the venue combines charming historic brickwork and warm exposed timber with top‑notch lighting, sound, and modern backstage amenities, giving performers the tools they need and audiences a comfortable, immersive night out. With just under 200 cushioned seats, great sightlines, accessible entrances, and a friendly lobby to enjoy before the show, Varscona is the kind of place where you walk in as a stranger and leave feeling like you were part of something special. Add in its location — in a lively, artsy neighbourhood full of cafés, bars, and other shows — and the Varscona isn’t just a concert venue, it’s the start of the whole evening.
