Born in the hustle and bustle of Canada’s busiest suburbs, rising indie-folk artist Daniel James McFadyen prefers the simplicity of Canada’s quieter eastern coast. Whether Daniel is touring solo or with his band his interactive shows have sold out across Canada, filling large venues including Toronto’s iconic Great Hall and the Marquee Ballroom in Halifax. Amidst a year of remarkable growth, McFadyen released his award nominated EP, Songs to Show Your Friends in late 2023. A musical departure from his previous “Stomp and Holler” folk music, the 5-track offering introduces intricate melodies and compelling instrumentation — a result of his creative partnership with Montreal-based producer Quinn Bachand. With a renewed approach guiding his sound, McFadyen explores topics of love, loss, adventure, and feelings of home, all of which have defined his presence in the Canadian folk and indie scenes.

McFadyen rose to stardom in the Canadian music scene with the release of his debut album “August, I’m Yours” in 2021. Nominated for prestigious awards like ECMAs and Nova Scotia Music Awards, including Folk Recording of the Year and Entertainer of the Year, McFadyen is a talented musician making a big impact. When not on tour or creating music, he enjoys the peaceful life in the Annapolis Valley.
