Shaun Daniel

Music – Minneapolis

Shaun Daniel is a singer-songwriter who hails from the Columbia Highlands of northeastern Washington State and the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. Constantly exploring musical possibilities, his style shies from easy genre classification, though much of his music is anchored in acoustic folk rock and Americana. Shaun pairs solid guitar-playing and intelligent lyrics with dynamic, multi-octave vocals marked by a bluesy tenor and ethereal falsetto. He has been developing his sound over the last several years playing in coffeehouses, pubs, warehouses, barns, and festivals throughout the Northwest. In May of this year, Shaun participated in the Incite showcase with RAW in Portland, Oregon. Having relocated to Minnesota in early August 2011, he is excited now to share his music in the greater Twin Cities area. Currently performing as a solo artist, Shaun has been involved in several bands in the past (from jazz to hard rock to reggae) and has shared the bill with such artists as Finn Riggins, Jared Mees and the Grown Children, Hillfolk Noir, Matt Yetter, Sons of Guns, Elidila, Neo Tundra Cowboy, Gregory Rawlins, and Auburn Isaak. In April 2011 he independently released a live album entitled, "Small Town Live," which showcases his music in unadulterated form and is available through PayPal or at his shows. He is currently writing new songs and working on a self-produced studio album.
