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 who plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying the art.”
– BW Review, New Zealand
