Event Description
The only good thing about not shopping in record stores like we used to is that you don’t have to figure out what genre to look for Danny under. If that were the case, you could try searching under rock, pop, folk, world, or even classical. His own self-described musical A.D.D. has kept his music fresh for decades.
Maybe it has something to do with being born next to a candy factory, but his thoughtful lyrics and charming performances have earned him a devoted fan base, multiple Juno nominations, Polaris Prize nominations, CBC’s Heart of Gold award, and wins for the CFMA’s Producer of the Year and Oliver Schroder Pushing the Boundaries awards.
Danny Michel returns with his first new release since 2023’s Ghost Town, this time diving headfirst into the stormy waters of modern politics. Inspired by a fan’s message suggesting musicians should “stick to their trade and keep their political views to themselves,” Michel responded the only way he knows how—through song.
At a time when cultural identity, sovereignty, and economic pressures are front and centre, Northern Star is a timely and fearless contribution to the conversation—reminding listeners that music isn’t just entertainment; it’s resistance, reflection, and a rallying cry.
