Danny Schmidt
Intensely intelligent and lyrical storytelling with incredible guitar technique
"Schmidt is a force of nature: a blue moon, a hundred-year flood, an avalanche of a singer-songwriter. His songs are a flood of poetry, mythology, folk wisdom, and surprise. He is perhaps the best new songwriter we've heard in the last 15 years." -Sing Out Magazine “His idiosyncratic, meticulously constructed folk songs are infused with intellect and quirkiness.” -New Yorker Magazine |
