April 29th, 2025Daniel Champagne to play Creswick

Daniel Champagne lives and breathes live music. Playing upwards of 250 shows a year he’s passionate about spreading it around the the world and coming up this May he’s bringing it to Creswick.

Growing up in the Bega Valley, on the Far South Coast of New South Wales the story goes that the young singer-songwriter and one of a kind guitar virtuoso first picked up his instrument of choice as a 5-year-old following in the footsteps of a musical father.

He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout his teens and performing wherever he could, honing his craft and developing the dynamite live show that he is renowned for today.

At 18 he finished school, turned professional and hit the road without looking back.

The following 15-plus years have seen him independently release 7 studio albums, tour relentlessly around the globe, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun and share stages with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins and Rodrigo y Gabriela.

He has been described as “the finest guitar player of this generation”, “a leading light in acoustic music” and “a performer that must be seen to be believed”.

Daniel plays Odessa @ Leavers in Creswick on Friday May 23 from 7pm with more details available through the venue’s own website and tickets through Humanitix.
