Danny Schmidt - Tick Tock at JustGoods Listening Room

Live Concert Recording from:
Sunday, April 6, 2008, Time: 2pm
Danny Schmidt www.dannyschmidt.com
Location: JustGoods Rockford, IL
Austin, TX-based singer/songwriter, Danny Schmidt is the real deal An authentic, timeless troubadour in the tradition of Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Dave Carter . . . who delivers his craft with a quiet power, level of complexity, and underlying humanity. His intense live performances leave listeners with a sense that each of his songs is necessary, plain and simple. His guitar work is effortless and sparkling, his arrangements are fresh and unpredictable, his voice ageless. Stylistically and musically, Dannys writing spans an impressively diverse reach, from deeply-rooted Appalachian mountain gospel to haunted English balladry, from syncopated Piedmont country blues to vagabond 60s protest folk-stumpery. In the words of Nashville Producer, Bob Thiele: "He is hands down one of the best living musician/poets that I am aware of." And in the words of Sing Out!: "He is perhaps the best new songwriter we've heard in the last 15 years." This is one show not to be missed.

Wow Danny, you just never cease to amaze me. Your songs have more layers, (and more richness, value, power and nutrition:) than baklava! Thank you.
