Growing up in the Bega Valley on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, Australia 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 dynamic 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 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, INXS, 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 and in September 2024 he will be back touring across the United States!
WHAT THE PRESS SAY..
The word Prodigy seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young mans skills, he coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws. The Calgary Herald, CANADA
Today I saw the future of Folk Festival goers flocking in the thousands towards the main stage to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper. The Firefly Column, USA
Daniel Champagne is a crossroads. Fusing the strong traditions of Blues, Folk and other roots art with pop showmanship and admirable lyrical ability. I firmly believe that he will become an ambassador for roots music in a time where it desperately needs representation. The Indie Blender, CANADA

Watching Daniel Champagne perform is a once in a lifetime experience. He is a true prodigy that plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying the art. BW Review, NEW ZEALAND
Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical Themusic.com.au, AUSTRALIA
You feel as if he just invented the instrument yesterday and was discovering its possibilities afresh Ted Gioia (American jazz critic and music historian)
