Featuring Guest Artist Dan MacKinnon
About Dan…
Blessed with a gorgeous, room-shaking baritone voice and the keen insight of a natural storyteller, Nova Scotian folksinger/songwriter/solo guitarist Dan McKinnon has carved out a definitely unique musical path. His sharply observed and passionately delivered work brings alive the history and spirit of our collective past, inspiring audiences in both the Old and New Worlds, and introducing an unexpected freshness to the neo-traditional roots and familiar love songs. "You can hear from the moment he steps out in front of an audience, from the Rebecca Cohen to the Halifax Brewery Market, that he's one of the most engaging and authentic performers on the Maritime Music Scene.”
