With a voice like a mountain stream and a suitcase of tunes for people of all ages, Daniel Mckell sings from the heart about the everyday wonders of our ever changing and surprising world.

His songs carry the droning, circular quality of a Buddhist meditation, incorporating percussive found sounds from babbling brooks and Canada geese. His guitar playing threads together a fine finger picked gentleness with pushed out power chords while his soft swinging tenor voice strikes a silly, speedy staccato. Lyrically he is just as likely to tickle your belly button as he is to wrap a blanket around hard times, spinning yarns that send prayers up in soap bubbles.

Daniel hails from the Chateauguay Valley region of Québec

He has led and played in many bands including the 90's punk trio  Tiny Green Specks and as a guitar picking, kazoo tooting tenor in award winning folk band Lake of Stew.

His songs have been touted as

 “..comedic, fantastical works of art, never once following any sort of standard formula for songwriting” by Roots Music Canada 

His performances are noted as being entertaining and eclectic without shying away from introspection. 

He has released several albums, EP’s and singles under his own name and is currently a songwriter and singer in the alt folk-rock band Fieldstone Reverie
