media release: The young Australian virtuoso recently described as “the finest guitar player of this generation” has been selling out shows all over the globe.
Growing up in the Bega Valley on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, Australia the story goes that the young DANIEL CHAMPAGNE first picked up his instrument of choice as a 5-year-old following in the footsteps of a musical father. He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout his teens and performing wherever he could, honing his craft and developing the dynamic live show that he is renowned for today. At 18 he finished school, turned professional and hit the road without looking back.
“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
