Spotlight on... with Janne GuitarGirl

Daniel was born in Brogo, New South Wales, Australia. His father was musical, so this talented young man first picked up a guitar at the age of five, started writing songs at 12, trained classically through his teens, and then “hit the road” at age 18.

He's been touring and performing during the last eight years, and has twice been selected to be the showcase artist at the Folk Alliance Convention.

He's performed in Australia, the United States, Canada, England and Ireland, and has shared the stage with Judy Collins, KT Tunstall and INXS and many other well-known performers.

He's also written, produced, and independently released two EPs. His latest release, available now, is ‘The Heartland Hurricanes'.

Now in his mid-20s, Daniel's recently been signed to a booking agent in the US, and will continue to tour and perform.

He's had rave reviews from many critics and some have said: “superb talent”, “has to be seen to be believed”, “a young musical phenomenon”, “jaw-dropping” and “an absolute show-stopper”.

Daniel will be playing in Tauranga at 7pm on Sunday, February 12, at Tauranga RSA in Greerton. This event is put on by the Tauranga Acoustic Music Club.
